What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 (€583/m²), this three-level house needs substantial renovation despite the roof being redone; estimated works of about €42,000 bring the effective cost to roughly €1,283/m². That is about 2.7× the Lombardia country-house baseline of €475/m², with no strong location premium to offset it.
More on the house and the area
This is a small, potentially characterful village house with a recently redone roof, exposed brick details, and access to a green outdoor area. However, the photos show a rough, non-move-in-ready property rather than a finished home, so its appeal is mainly as an inexpensive renovation project.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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 visibly needs substantial renovation, with unfinished or storage-like interiors and heavily weathered masonry.
- No attractive views or finished living spaces are shown.
- Utilities, bathroom condition, and the exact ownership/status of the garden area are unclear.
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 61/100The cluster sits on the southern slopes of the Bergamo Prealps above the Adda valley, with Monte Linzone and the ridge system between the Imagna and San Martino valleys close by. The River Adda is the main water feature in the area, with the gorge and valley floor around Calolziocorte and Cisano Bergamasco below. This is the edge zone between the Bergamasque mountains and the industrialised Brianza-Lecco plain, so woodland, steep pasture and scattered hamlets mix with valley infrastructure. The nearest town of size is Lecco, which has a full set of services and rail links, and Bergamo is the larger provincial city within daily reach. The area is known for hillside walking routes and for views over the Adda corridor and the prealpine ridges.
