What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €575/m², this 174 m² unfinished (“al rustico”) apartment would require roughly €191,400 in renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,675/m² versus the Lombardia baseline of €380/m². The condition is unspecified, the description is vague, and only 2 photos are provided.
More on the house and the area
The restored farmhouse has strong historic character, with handsome exposed brick, stone columns, timber roofing, and a large covered courtyard. However, the actual 174 sqm apartment is sold unfinished over two levels, so this is a renovation project rather than a realistically livable home today.
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€69,000 – €102,000
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 advertised apartment is explicitly an unfinished shell ('al rustico'), not a move-in-ready home.
- No interior photos are provided, so the state of floors, utilities, kitchen, and bathrooms is unclear.
- Renovation costs and completion requirements could be substantial despite the attractive farmhouse setting.
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 34/100This is the central Brescian plain between the Oglio and Mella river systems, with flat agricultural land and scattered villages. The Oglio is the nearest named river of note, running west of Milzano, and the Chiese flows to the east in the wider plain. The nearest larger town is Brescia, which provides the main rail links, hospitals, universities and city services. This part of the province is known for intensive farming and small industrial settlements rather than for a distinct protected landscape or a historic hill-town setting.
