What it really costs

At €538/m², the €50,000 asking price is low, but an estimated €800/m² renovation—including creating a bathroom that does not exist—puts the project at roughly €1,338/m² all-in. The central village location helps, but the limited local comparison data and missing basic property details make this a fair renovation project rather than an exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
A characterful Alpine farmhouse with rough stone walls, traditional shutters, timber structures, a fireplace, and a small green plot in a village setting. The main house appears roofed and partly usable, but the lack of any bathroom and the visibly poor condition of the interiors and outbuildings make this a serious renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €800/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €33,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- No bathroom currently exists, so it is not immediately habitable.
- Substantial renovation and maintenance are needed, including old interiors, plaster, windows, and services.
- The attached wooden barn/fienile appears severely deteriorated and may require major structural work or removal.
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 di Non, with the Maddalene group to the northwest and the Brenta Dolomites visible farther to the southwest in the wider district. The Noce river runs through the valley system nearby, and the upper Val di Non lakes of Santa Giustina and Smeraldo are within the broader 15 km area depending on the exact hamlet. The area is tied to the Adamello Brenta Natural Park on the western side of Val di Non, though the park boundary is not at every settlement here. The nearest substantial ski areas are on the Mendola–Passo della Mendola side and around the Campiglio/Val di Sole system, with local access to lifts taking roughly 25-40 minutes for the closest slopes. Cles is the nearest town of size and provides the main shops, services and rail connection for the valley. The area is known for apple orchards across the valley floor and lower slopes, and for the canyon landscape around the Rio Sass at Fondo.
