Effective price ≈ €1,324/m² (price €165k + assumed €200/m² renovation) versus regional baseline €417/m², so this is materially above market. The large 6,500 m² garden and 27 photos likely justify a premium, but the listing does not state the condition so I assumed habitable (€200/m²).
More on the house and the area
Bright, beautifully styled and largely renovated living spaces (modern kitchen, bathroom and airy bedrooms) make this feel move-in ready, while a long balcony and 6,500 m² of wooded hillside give real outdoor appeal. Substantial cellar/garage areas are raw and the terrain is steep, so expect some work if you want to expand or fully landscape the grounds.
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€10,000 – €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.
- Large basement/garage/workshop spaces are unfinished and look like storage — need work to convert.
- The garden/land is steep with stone steps — access and landscaping will require effort.
- Only one fully photographed bathroom; creating a second apartment will need plumbing/partitioning work.
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 68/100The cluster is in the lower Valle Sabbia, between the inland hills and the first mountains that rise toward the Prealpi Bresciane. Lake Garda is just to the east, with the southwest shore around Salò and Gardone Riviera within about 15 km. The Chiese river runs through Vobarno and the valley opens south toward the Brescia plain. The Parco Alto Garda Bresciano begins nearby on the western side of Lake Garda. Salò is the nearest town of size, with a lakefront, services and a substantial historic centre. This part of the province is known for the transition from industrial valley floor and small towns to the Garda hills and lake shore.
