At €170,000 for 240 m² I assume major works (~€700/m²) giving an effective cost ≈ €338k or about €1,408/m², well above the regional median of €418/m²; the villa has two apartments, garage and garden but the effective price makes it overpriced for Lombardy.
More on the house and the area
Solid, characterful villa with terraces, mature hedging and clear mountain/valley views — a very photogenic exterior and garden. The interior is largely gutted with rough concrete walls and missing finishes, so this is a renovation project but the building and roof appear intact and liveable after work.
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€48,000 – €84,000
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 interior renovation needed (plaster, floors, finishes).
- Rusty balcony railings and exposed stair supports; check structural/waterproofing details.
- Close to the road — limited privacy/road noise possible.
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 Brianza hills between the Triangolo Lariano and the plain, with the Corni di Canzo and the first pre-Alpine ridges within a few kilometres. Lake Alserio and Lake Pusiano are nearby, and the south branch of Lake Como begins around Lecco within daily practical reach but outside the immediate landscape. The area touches Parco Regionale della Valle del Lambro, and Monte Barro Regional Park is near Lecco. The nearest sizeable town is Como, with rail connections, services and the walled historic centre; Lecco is also close and functions as a larger service town on the lake. The area is known for wooded hills, small lakes, villas and long-settled Brianza villages.
