Price is €299,000 (195 m2 = €1,533/m2). With no condition stated I assumed modest works (€200/m2) giving an effective ≈€1,730/m2 versus the regional baseline €448/m2, so this listing is heavily above typical levels despite being well photographed and near services.
More on the house and the area
Well-presented, move-in-ready semi‑detached villa with a generous private garden, terrace and double garage — the interiors are clean, bright and comfortable. This is a practical, attractive family home rather than a romantic historic or scenic getaway.
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 – €22,000
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.
- Suburban/residential location — not a scenic lake/sea or mountain view.
- Typical modern finishes (not historic character).
- Price listed is well above the 'bargain' band for cheap Italian-project seekers.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Brianza hills between the Adda valley and the first ridges below Monte Resegone and Monte San Genesio. The Adda river is within the local area, with the river corridor around Paderno and Brivio forming the main natural feature nearby. Montevecchia and the Curone Valley Regional Park lies partly within this area, with wooded hills, fields and small ridges typical of upper Brianza. The nearest larger towns are Merate and Lecco; Lecco has a full provincial town role on the branch of Lake Como, while Merate provides everyday services. Lake Annone and the southern end of Lake Como are reachable nearby, but the immediate setting is chiefly settled hill country rather than lakefront. This part of Brianza is known for mixed residential settlement, small industry, farmland and historic villas scattered through the hills.
