Asking price €55,000 plus estimated renovation €50,000 (200 €/m²) yields an effective €105,000 or €420/m², slightly above the regional median of €406/m². The property is largely habitable, includes a 2,000 m² private plot, garage and many photos, so it’s a fair deal if you accept a small premium for space and mountain views.
More on the house and the area
A charming 1700s village house with intact, lived-in main apartment, huge 2,000 m² plot and breathtaking mountain views — a genuine dream setting. The property is largely habitable but requires targeted work (attic conversion, timber/roof checks and some modernisation) — excellent value for the price.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- Exterior shows wear and exposed timber elements that should be structurally inspected and likely repaired.
- Large attic/soffitta needs renovation to be usable as living space.
- Access involves steep village steps/ramps — check parking/vehicle access for regular use.
- Interiors are habitable but basic — some modernisation of bathrooms/kitchen likely needed.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Val Sabbia, with the lower slopes of the Brescian Prealps immediately around it. Lake Idro is within about 10 km. The area is close to the Parco delle Fucine di Casto, a protected valley landscape with cliffs, woods and old ironworking sites. The nearest ski lifts are the small Maniva ski area, roughly 30–40 minutes by road depending on the starting point in the comune. The nearest larger town is Vestone in the valley, with everyday services, while Salò on Lake Garda and Brescia are farther out for higher-level services. The wider area is known for prealpine valleys, chestnut and beech woods, outdoor walking routes and the historic ironworking tradition of Val Sabbia.
