See what needs doing and what each job costs
This villa is sold through a judicial auction, with €37,557 listed as the minimum bid, so the purchase carries auction-specific legal and execution risks. At an estimated €200/m² for its habitable condition, the effective cost is about €416/m², close to the €430/m² local comparison level.
More on the house and the area
The actual exterior shows a substantial, well-roofed villa with attractive stonework, a covered terrace, private garden and a pleasant green setting. It appears potentially livable rather than a renovation shell, but the real interior is not documented—the polished interior images are only illustrative—so the home’s true finish, bathrooms and usability remain uncertain. At this auction price, the 174 sqm size and garden create a strong bargain appeal, though the setting is pleasant rather than extraordinary.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €20,000
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 interior photos are explicitly illustrative/staged images, not photos of the actual property.
- This is a judicial auction and the advertised price is only the minimum bid, with additional legal and purchase risks.
- The listing reports no bathrooms despite describing bathrooms, so the layout and actual condition need verification.
- The house is in a suburban/rural residential setting rather than a historic village or spectacular landscape location.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Prealpi Bresciane, on the upland between Brescia and Lake Garda. The Chiese river valley lies to the west and south-west, and the edge of Lake Garda around Salò and Gardone Riviera is within about 15 km to the east. The Parco Alto Garda Bresciano begins on the Garda side nearby, covering the inland ridges above the lake. Brescia is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail connections and major historic monuments. This part of the province is known for limestone uplands, woods and pasture, and for being the inland approach from Brescia to the Val Sabbia and the western Garda hills.
