What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €599/m² before works, this is already well above comparable Piemonte country-house pricing; allowing for the two-building layout and substantial personalization, estimated all-in cost reaches about €1,099/m². One portion was renovated in 2005, but the listing does not clearly state the condition or usability of the remaining spaces.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €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.
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 area lies in the upper Novara plain between the Sesia and Ticino basins, with the Monte Rosa section of the Pennine Alps visible to the northwest in clear weather. Lake Orta begins within about 10 km, with the west shore around Gozzano and Pettenasco; the south end of Lake Maggiore is also close by, around Arona. The nearest substantial town is Novara for wider services, while Arona on Lake Maggiore is the main nearby lake town with rail links and ferry connections. The Sacro Monte di Orta on Lake Orta is a UNESCO site. This part of Piemonte is known for its proximity to the prealpine lakes and for vineyards of the Colline Novaresi around Boca and Ghemme.
