Asking €78,000 plus an estimated €76,050 to renovate (650 €/m²) gives an effective price ≈ €1,317/m², far above the Lombardy baseline of €409/m². The roof has been redone, but the remaining renovation burden makes this an overpriced project.
More on the house and the area
Solid, liveable semi‑detached townhouse with a recently redone roof, intact floors/ceilings and a private garden — a realistic home once updated. Not a scenic or historic showstopper, but good value for Lombardy; expect cosmetic renovation and attention to parking/privacy.
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, €650/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €41,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 53/100The cluster is in the low hills on the Italian-Swiss border west of Como, in a settled belt of woods, small valleys and built-up villages rather than open mountain country. The Lura valley and the first prealpine hills are within the area, and the Lake Como basin begins just to the east around Como. Como is the nearest town of size, with the walled historic centre, the lakefront, rail links and the main services of the area. The area is known for its border position with Switzerland and for being part of the inhabited foothill zone between Como and Varese.
