Asking €290,000 for 190 m² (€1,526/m²); estimated €200/m² renovation (€38k) yields an effective €1,726/m² versus the regional typical €409/m², so this is substantially above market and overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A neat, move-in-ready townhouse with pleasant front and rear gardens and a covered terrace — the interiors are clean and well maintained with a recently renovated bathroom. This is a comfortable, practical family home rather than a dramatic or historic dream property; cosmetic updates (kitchen, decor) would make it feel more contemporary.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Attached townhouse with shared walls (no full privacy)
- Kitchen styling is dated and may need replacement to suit modern tastes
- Gardens are modest in size, not suited for large-scale landscaping
- No special views or historic features — suburban 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 72/100The cluster lies in Franciacorta, a belt of morainic hills between the southern shore of Lake Iseo and the Brescia plain, with vineyards and scattered villages across the rolling ground. Lake Iseo is within the 15 km radius at the north edge of this area. The Oglio river marks the eastern side of the lake basin nearby. Monte Isola, the large inhabited lake island on Lake Iseo, is close enough to count within the local landscape. The nearest substantial town is Brescia, which provides the full set of city services and rail connections. The area is known for Franciacorta wine production.
