Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €179,000 (€734/m2) is well above the regional baseline of €448/m2; with an estimated €200/m2 for renovation the effective cost is ≈€934/m2, so this looks overpriced. The listing does not state the property's condition (though it includes 28 photos and a described usable layout).
More on the house and the area
Sunny, well‑maintained villa with characterful interiors (terracotta floors, arched openings, wood stove) and a generous private garden. The layout is immediately liveable, though the kitchen is compact and some rooms would benefit from light updating to make it fully 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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Interior is lived-in with dated finishes — cosmetic modernisation recommended
- Kitchen is small/narrow compared with the rest of the house
- No dramatic views; suburban location between other buildings
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 is in the Val Seriana under the Bergamasque Alps, with steep wooded slopes rising close to the settlements and the upper valley narrowing toward the Orobie. The Serio river runs down the valley. The Parco delle Orobie Bergamasche begins a short distance to the north and east, covering much of the high ground above the valley. The nearest ski lifts are in the Presolana and Colere area, roughly 25–40 minutes by road depending on the lift. Clusone is the nearest larger centre, with a substantial historic core and services for the upper valley. The area is known for alpine valley landscapes, pasture and woodland, and as one of the access valleys toward the Orobie peaks.
