What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €65,000 asking price is €929/m², and completing this 70 m² house in construction could bring the effective cost to about €1,629/m² versus a €406/m² local baseline. The remote hamlet location and missing condition, year, and energy data weaken the proposition further.
More on the house and the area
This has exceptional Alpine scenery, a highly distinctive stone façade, timber roofs and a genuine historic-village setting. However, the interior is an empty unfinished shell across three levels, so despite the dramatic views and character, it is a renovation project rather than a usable home today.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €25,000
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.
- The property is an unfinished construction project, not move-in ready.
- Interiors are raw, with unfinished floors and walls; kitchen and bathroom fittings are not shown.
- Expect substantial costs for plumbing, electrics, heating, insulation, windows and interior completion.
- Access is through a compact hillside village, so parking and construction logistics should be verified.
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 78/100The cluster sits at the north end of Lake Mezzola, with the Adda valley opening south toward the head of Lake Como. The Lepontine Alps and the first slopes of the Bergell area rise immediately around the valley, with steep wooded sides above the settled floor. The Pian di Spagna e Lago di Mezzola Regional Nature Reserve begins nearby, protecting the marshes and wetland plain between Lake Mezzola and the upper end of Lake Como. Chiavenna is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and everyday services. The area is known for the lake-and-wetland landscape at Pian di Spagna and for the route north toward the Spluga and Maloja passes.
