€150,000 plus an estimated €1,100/m² renovation (228 m² → total ≈ €400,800) gives an effective ≈ €1,759/m² versus the local median €430/m², so this large villa ‘completamente da ristrutturare’ is overpriced for a full restoration.
More on the house and the area
Large, intact two‑storey villa with high ceilings, original cornices and terrazzo floors plus a private yard/terrace — very liveable bones with character. The house needs a thorough renovation to modernise bathrooms, systems and finishes, but would make a beautiful family home once restored.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€90,000 – €133,000
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.
- Advertised as 'completely to renovate' — significant work likely required
- Only one bathroom shown — modernisation may need adding facilities
- No energy/modern systems visible — heating and insulation upgrades probable
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 47/100The area lies in the lower Adda valley on flat farmland crossed by the Adda river and its canals. The Adda Sud Regional Park is nearby along the river corridor. Treviglio is the nearest larger town, with a station, services and a substantial town centre. Bergamo and the first Prealpine ridges are farther north, but outside the immediate landscape. This part of the Bergamo plain is known for irrigated agriculture and historic hydraulic works linked to the Adda.
