At €12,750 (€193/m²), this habitable 66 m² apartment remains about €25,950 all-in after estimated light works, or roughly €393/m² versus a €664/m² local benchmark. The 27 photos support the listing, but the description is unusually sparse and does not mention a bathroom or energy certification.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, apparently habitable apartment in a leafy, snowy hillside building with extensive balconies and a maintained communal courtyard. It looks usable rather than derelict, but the exterior is fairly ordinary, there is no proven special view or historic character, and the lack of interior photos limits confidence.
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.
- No interior photos are provided, so actual finish and livability cannot be verified.
- The listing records 0 bathrooms, which may indicate missing information or a practical deficiency.
- Several aerial/panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not show the property or its immediate setting.
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 74/100The cluster is at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with Monte Bracco above Bagnolo Piemonte and the upper Po valley close by. The Po rises on Monviso at Pian del Re within this part of the valley system, and the Monviso massif is the dominant mountain feature in the area. The Monviso Natural Park lies nearby around the upper valley. The nearest sizeable town is Saluzzo, which has a substantial historic centre and everyday services. This area is known for mountain foothill landscapes, stone villages and the Monviso-Po valley system.
