What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description says two buildings completely to renovate, while the facts list only 150 m² and incomplete details. At roughly €40,000 plus €165,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,367/m² versus the Lombardia farmhouse baseline of €380/m², making this weak despite the low asking price.
More on the house and the area
Photogenic stone farm buildings with strong rustic character, surrounded by green land and dramatic mountain scenery in a small Alpine village. However, this is clearly a substantial renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home: the interiors are not shown and the structures appear largely unfinished or agricultural.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €88,000
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.
- Two buildings are explicitly sold completely to renovate.
- No finished interiors, kitchen, or usable bathroom are shown.
- The roofs appear present, but structural condition and utilities are unverified.
- Mountain access and renovation logistics may be challenging.
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 74/100The cluster is in the Bergamasque Alps, in the upper Val Brembana. The Brembo valley system and steep wooded slopes are the immediate landscape, with higher alpine ground and passes above the villages. The area lies by the upper Brembo basin and close to the Orobie Bergamasche Regional Park. The nearest ski area is Carona and Foppolo, roughly 25–35 minutes by mountain road depending on the lift base. The nearest larger town is San Pellegrino Terme down the valley, with thermal facilities and a substantial early-20th-century town centre; Bergamo is the main city for services farther down the valley. This part of the valley is known for alpine pastures, hiking routes and traditional stone mountain hamlets.
