Why this price is what it is

At €625/m² before works, the €75,000 asking price is already well above the local €345/m² benchmark. With renovation estimated at about €700/m², the effective cost rises to roughly €1,325/m²; the listing offers useful features but no clear value advantage.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is a characterful mountain-village house with exposed stone, substantial timber eaves, a covered porch, garden/land and a beautiful wooded Piemonte valley backdrop. The roofed structure appears substantial rather than ruined, but the tired exterior and stated renovation requirement—combined with no interior gallery—keep it in the charming project-home range rather than dream-home territory.

Minimum to live in it€350–500/m²
€42,000 – €60,000

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.

Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €42,000

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.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

What worries us about this house
  • The property is explicitly listed as needing renovation, and no interior photos confirm current livability.
  • Roof edges, exterior finishes, drainage and old outbuildings appear to need careful inspection.
  • Access is through a compact village setting, with limited visible parking beyond the garage.

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 72/100

The cluster sits in the Val di Susa with the Graian Alps and the western Alpine chain closing the valley on both sides. The Dora Riparia runs along the valley floor. The lower Val di Susa has a continuous mountain backdrop, forested slopes and small villages set between the river corridor and the side valleys. The Sacra di San Michele stands on Mount Pirchiriano about 15 km away and is one of the main historic landmarks of the valley. Susa is the nearest larger town, with Roman remains, services and rail connections through the valley. The area is known for the old transalpine route toward the Mont Cenis and Fréjus passes and for fortified villages and abbeys along the valley. The nearest ski areas are in the upper Val di Susa, with lifts around Bardonecchia and the Via Lattea resorts reached by road in roughly 45 to 70 minutes.
