What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €586/m², the asking price is already about 23% above the Lombardia country-house baseline of €475/m²; allowing €200/m² for the unspecified condition raises the effective cost to roughly €786/m². The independent three-level house, garden, terrace, and local amenities add value, but the missing condition and energy data limit confidence.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable mountain home with a spectacular green Alpine setting, dramatic wooded slopes and a pleasant private garden, terrace and outdoor sitting areas. The interiors are practical, furnished and appear well maintained, including a fitted kitchen, bathrooms and multiple living/sleeping spaces, though the decor is dated rather than characterful. At €85,000 for 145 sqm in this scenery, it has strong dream-home appeal and good bargain effect.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €16,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Interiors are clean and usable but dated in style and finishes.
- The three-level layout may be less convenient for reduced mobility.
- Mountain access, winter weather and heating performance should be checked.
- The listing does not confirm energy class or recent systems/roof updates.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 72/100The cluster is in the lower Seriana Valley at the foot of the Bergamasque Prealps. The Vertova stream cuts a narrow gorge just above the village, known as the Orrido di Vertova. The Serio river runs down the valley nearby. The Orobie Bergamasche Regional Park lies a short distance up-valley, with the main Orobie ridges and hiking terrain within the local mountain backdrop. The nearest ski areas are the small Orobie resorts such as Spiazzi di Gromo and Lizzola, roughly around an hour by road depending on conditions. The nearest town of size is Bergamo, with a full city centre, rail station, hospitals and services. This part of the valley is known for prealpine hiking, wooded slopes and small industrial settlements along the valley floor.
