Listing describes the house in “validi condizioni” with 27 photos so I estimate light works ~€200/m² (≈€28k). That yields an effective price of about €213k (≈€1,520/m²) versus the local typical €463/m², so the asking price is well above market comparables.
More on the house and the area
Solid, lived-in country home with a sunny enclosed terrace, private garden and a pretty mountain view — a genuine, usable house not a ruin. Interiors are dated but serviceable, so this is a realistic move-in option that will benefit from some modernization.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Dated interiors and finishes — cosmetic updating likely.
- External boiler and some older fixtures shown; check heating and utilities.
- Access involves steps and raised terraces which may be awkward for limited mobility.
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 58/100The cluster is in Val Trompia, with the Prealpi Bresciane rising immediately around the built-up valley and Monte Guglielmo and the Maniva area forming the higher mountain backdrop to the north. The Mella runs down the valley. The area lies close to the Parco delle Colline di Brescia on the southern side of the valley system. The nearest ski area is Maniva, roughly an hour’s drive from Gardone Val Trompia. Brescia is the nearest city of size, with major services, rail links, museums and the Roman and Lombard UNESCO sites in the historic centre. The area is known for its long firearms-manufacturing tradition, with Beretta in Gardone Val Trompia and the valley’s industrial settlements following the river corridor.
