What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The villa is sold al rustico, so estimated renovation is about €1100/m²: €89,000 + roughly €159,500 works = €248,500 effective cost, or €1,714/m². This is over four times the Lombardia villa baseline of €416/m², with no meaningful location premium to offset it.
More on the house and the area
The villa has a handsome oversized roof, brick-columned balconies, and a generous grassy garden, giving it attractive architectural potential. However, it is a genuine unfinished shell rather than a usable home: interiors are raw brick and concrete with no visible utilities, finishes, kitchen, or bathrooms, so the renovation burden sharply limits the dream-home appeal.
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€57,000 – €85,000
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 explicitly sold as a rustico: raw brick interiors, unfinished floors, no fitted kitchen or bathrooms, and exposed construction work.
- Substantial finishing and systems work is required before it can be occupied.
- The suburban setting has no proven scenic view or historic character.
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 38/100This is in the central Brescian plain, with flat agricultural land around the lower course of the Oglio and Mella river area rather than a distinct hill or mountain landscape. Brescia is the nearest large city, with full services, rail connections and major historic monuments. Lake Iseo and the first pre-Alpine relief are farther north and matter more for occasional trips than for the immediate setting.
