What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 119 m², the €580/m² asking price is already above the €475/m² Lombardia country-house baseline, and the property requires renovation. Using an estimated €700/m² renovation cost, effective cost is about €1,280/m², making this weak value despite its Franciacorta location.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid rural house with attractive terracotta roofs, a private garden, and pleasant views over the surrounding Franciacorta hillside and village. The interior is clearly usable rather than a bare shell, with existing rooms, kitchen, bathroom, utilities, and flooring, but it needs a meaningful renovation to become a beautiful dream home.
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€23,000 – €42,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including peeling finishes and worn flooring.
- The kitchen and bathroom are functional-looking but very dated and may require replacement.
- Narrow lane access and the garden's condition should be checked in person.
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.
