What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €68,000 (€393/m²), the 173 m² farmhouse requires renovation, bringing the estimated effective cost to about €1,093/m²—far above the local €260/m² benchmark. The large garden and courtyard add appeal, but not enough to offset the renovation burden.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€34,000 – €61,000
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.
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 sits at the transition between the Po plain and the low foothills of the Alps: flat agricultural land gives way within a few kilometres to low wooded and vine-covered hills. The area within 15 km is predominantly farmland (arable crops, orchards and local vineyards) with small wooded patches on the lower slopes. Saluzzo is the local town of size and lies at the edge of these hills; it has a medieval historic centre with surviving town walls and civic monuments and functions as the local service hub (shops, municipal offices, weekly markets). There is no national park or large lake inside 15 km. Ski lifts in the high Alps are well beyond 15 km (count on 30+ km driving to the nearest Alpine ski resorts). The provincial capital Cuneo is to the south-east (~50 km) and Turin is farther north-west (~70–80 km); the Ligurian coast is about 88 km away (as given). The area has the historical identity of the Marquisate of Saluzzo and local agricultural production typical of lower Piedmont.
