193 m² villa at €98,000 with an estimated €200/m² works → effective price ≈ €136,600 or ≈ €708/m², far above the regional baseline of €281/m². Property appears habitable and well-photographed, but the high effective €/m² and inland location (167 km from the sea) make it an overpriced listing.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roomy village house in the valley with real mountain views, beamed ceilings and working stoves — characterful and immediately habitable. The outdoor beds/terrace and balcony need tidy/repair, but at this price for 193 m² it’s a strong, liveable bargain in Piemonte.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Exterior and balcony show some wear and need maintenance
- Garden/terrace areas are overgrown and will need clearing
- Close neighbouring houses limit privacy and some views
- Only one bathroom shown for a large 193 m² house
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.
