What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €443/m², the €78,000 asking price is about 17% above the Lombardia farmhouse baseline of €380/m², so it is not a clear bargain despite the stated recent renovation. The description calls the property a traditional crotto/cantina rather than clearly a dwelling, and the advertised 147 m² conflicts with the the listing figure of 176 m².
More on the house and the area
This is a highly characterful, recently renovated mountain farmhouse with a wonderful wood-beamed interior, traditional fireplace, rustic furnishings, terrace, and lush private garden. The distinctive local “crotto” character and forested Alpine setting make it feel like a genuine Italian retreat rather than a generic cheap house, and the finished kitchen/living space appears immediately usable.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- Mountain woodland setting may mean limited access and significant winter maintenance.
- Only one bedroom and one bathroom are listed despite the generous total floor area.
- The photos do not show the bathroom or confirm year-round utilities and heating performance.
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.
