See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although listed as renovated, the description says the villa is still under construction and sold in its rough state, with substantial finishing work required. At an estimated €900/m² to complete, the effective cost is about €1,394/m² (€217,400 total), far above the local €276/m² benchmark; the listing does not state the remaining works or their exact cost.
More on the house and the area
This is a bright, newly built shell with a sound-looking roof, attractive white timber ceilings upstairs, balconies and a private outdoor area. However, it is clearly a construction project rather than a usable home: the interiors have bare concrete floors, unfinished insulation-lined walls and no completed bathrooms or kitchen. Its main appeal is the generous 156 sqm layout and personalization potential, not immediate dream-home beauty.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €55,000
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.
- Sold al grezzo: unfinished floors, walls, bathrooms, kitchen and fittings are absent.
- Not habitable without substantial finishing work and utility installation.
- The garden is currently rough and overgrown/dry, with temporary balcony railings and construction materials.
- No compelling landscape view or distinctive historic character is visible 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 58/100The cluster lies in the Canavese plain between the Po basin and the first Alpine foothills. The Dora Baltea runs nearby and shapes the broad valley east of the town. To the north and northwest, within this radius, there are views toward the Graian Alps and the lower entrance to the Aosta Valley, but the immediate surroundings are mainly flat farmland, roads and small settlements. Candia Lake is nearby, with the Parco Naturale del Lago di Candia on its shores. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and the UNESCO industrial city of the 20th century linked to Olivetti. The area is known for Erbaluce di Caluso vineyards and for the transition from vineyard country to the morainic landscape around Ivrea.
