The €25,220 asking price is attractive at €178/m², but allowing about €200/m² for a habitable home puts the effective cost near €378/m², above the local €275/m² benchmark. The villa has strong practical features and 33 photos, though the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has.
More on the house and the area
This is a surprisingly spacious, usable home with attractive exposed timber ceilings, a balcony, terrace, garage, and cellar. It feels like a real lived-in house rather than a ruin, but the clutter, ordinary urban setting, and aging exterior keep it well below dream-home territory.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Interiors are habitable but cluttered and dated, likely needing a substantial cosmetic refresh.
- The exterior is dense and utilitarian, with no proven scenic view or meaningful private garden.
- Listing data states zero bathrooms despite a bathroom appearing in the photos; verify the official layout and systems.
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 66/100The Canavese plain meets the first morainic hills of the Serra d'Ivrea here, the long glacial ridge that runs south of Ivrea. The Dora Baltea flows through the Ivrea area a few kilometres away. Lago Sirio and the other small glacial lakes around Ivrea are within this radius. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services and a substantial historic centre. Ivrea is on the UNESCO list for the 20th-century industrial city built by Olivetti. The area is known for the morainic landscape of the Canavese and for Ivrea's Olivetti heritage.
