In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
A habitable 61 m² villa with garage, cellar, terrace and heating has an estimated all-in cost of about €50,864, or €834/m²—well above the local €276/m² benchmark, so it is not a standout bargain. The listing is well documented with 33 photos and useful amenities, supporting a solid but ordinary deal.
More on the house and the area
A highly photogenic alpine stone house with exceptional rustic character, exposed masonry, timber balconies, and handsome original beams. Inside, it is a genuine habitable home with a fitted kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, tiled living area, heating, and finished floors—not a renovation shell. The compact layout and steep access reduce practicality, but the combination of character and low price is genuinely compelling.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Access is through narrow stone steps and a compact village setting, which may be challenging for reduced mobility.
- The interiors are usable but modest, with clutter in the cellar/storage area and limited living space.
- No major landscape or mountain view is clearly shown in the photos.
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 71/100The cluster is in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps around it. The Stura di Lanzo system drains these valleys, and Ceres is the nearest small town with day-to-day services and the Torino–Ceres railway line. The nearest substantial city is Turin, down-valley, with the full range of urban services. The area is known for alpine valley settlements, chestnut woods and summer walking terrain; ski access is limited and the nearest lifts are in the upper Lanzo valleys, typically around Balme or Ala di Stura, reached by mountain-road drives.
