At €70,000 plus an estimated €59,400 renovation, the effective cost is about €2,396/m² versus a local benchmark of €261/m². The building is completely to restore, currently described mainly as a storage area and former hayloft, with no bathroom indicated.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly photogenic stone mountain farmhouse with slate roofs, rustic balconies, greenery and dramatic Alpine views. However, it is explicitly a completely unfinished renovation project, with an ex-hayloft, storage rooms and no bathroom, so it is not currently a realistically livable home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €32,000
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.
- Completely to renovate; currently an ex-barn/rustico rather than a usable home.
- No bathroom is listed, and the gallery does not show finished living interiors or a kitchen.
- The steep multi-level layout, balconies and rural setting may require substantial structural and utility work.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the lower Valle Bronda at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with the larger Monviso massif and the upper Po valley landscape close to the west. The Bronda stream runs through this small valley and joins the Po near Saluzzo. The area is within the buffer of the Monviso UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and the Parco del Monviso begins farther up the mountain valleys to the west. The nearest substantial town is Saluzzo, which has a preserved historic centre, a hilltop old town and the Marchesato castle complex. This part of the Saluzzo area is known for fruit growing, especially orchards on the plain and lower slopes.
