Listed at €68,000 for 1,801 m² (€38/m²); assuming habitable condition with light works (~€200/m²) the effective price is ≈€238/m², about 32% below the area's typical ~€352/m². Habitable state, 15 photos, garage, fireplace, fiber and disabled access support this as a strong value.
More on the house and the area
Charming, habitable mountain townhouse with a photogenic facade, balcony and genuine valley/mountain views — a real liveable home. Interiors are dated but solid (working heating, parquet floors); attic and finishes need updating, making this a good bargain for someone willing to modernize.
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€119,000 – €201,000
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 dated and will need modernization (kitchens, finishes).
- Attic/mansarda is messy and requires renovation to be fully usable.
- Only one bathroom for a 4‑bed layout; outdoor space is small/terraced and on a slope.
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 78/100The cluster sits in the eastern Trentino mountains on the Tesino plateau, with the Lagorai range and the Cima d’Asta massif within the local horizon. The Val Cismon lies nearby and the area is linked to the alpine meadows and forests of the wider Tesino basin. The nearest ski lifts are the small Funivie Lagorai area above Brocon Pass, roughly 20 minutes by road. Borgo Valsugana is the nearest larger town, with rail access, shops and services. The area is known for mountain pasture, woodland and summer walking routes.
