Asking €48,000 for 169 m² but described as "da ristrutturare"; estimated renovation €700/m² gives total ≈ €166,300 or ≈ €980/m² versus the regional median of €397/m², so the effective cost is well above market; good photos and three separate units make it an investor project rather than an obvious bargain.
More on the house and the area
A solid three‑storey building with a private paved courtyard and three separate apartments — structurally complete and clearly usable but dated. Best as a value buy for an investor or buyer willing to renovate the kitchens/bathrooms and address damp/finishes to create comfortable homes.
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€33,000 – €59,000
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.
- Whole building sold as three separate apartments — will need coordinated renovation
- Visible damp/peeling plaster in bedrooms and ceilings, plus dated finishes throughout
- Very small bathrooms and basic kitchens; not scenic views (inner-village setting)
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 86/100Lake Maggiore is at Arona, with the long lake basin running north between the Piedmont and Lombardy shores. The Ticino begins here at Sesto Calende, and the south end of the lake leads into the Parco naturale della Valle del Ticino in Piedmont and the Lombard Ticino park across the river. The Mottarone massif rises east of the lake; the Stresa and Baveno side is within about 15 km across the water, and the Mottarone road and summit area are around a 35 to 45 minute drive. Arona is one of the main towns on the southern part of Lake Maggiore, with ferry connections on the lake and rail links toward Novara, Milan and Domodossola. Across the lake, the Borromean Gulf and the Borromean Islands are in the wider lake area, though not within the immediate 15 km radius. The area is known for the lake landscape and for lakeside resort towns around the lower Borromeo part of Lake Maggiore.
