At €977/m², or roughly €1,177/m² after a modest habitable-home allowance, this is well above the local €664/m² benchmark. Oulx’s mountain setting and autonomous heating add value, but the sparse listing does not state bathrooms, building year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly appealing Alpine village home, with a handsome stone-arched façade, timber balconies, traditional details, and dramatic mountain scenery nearby. The 76 sqm apartment is described as habitable with autonomous heating and a kitchen, making it a realistic home rather than a renovation shell, although the lack of interior images 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€5,000 – €9,000
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 the advertised habitable condition cannot be visually verified.
- The bathroom count and full utility details are unclear.
- This appears to be a compact village apartment on a narrow street, with no visible private garden or terrace.
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 84/100The cluster is in the upper Susa Valley in the Cottian Alps, with high alpine slopes and passes around Oulx. The Dora Riparia runs through the valley. The Gran Bosco di Salbertrand Natural Park is nearby on the valley side. The nearest ski lifts are those of Via Lattea: Sauze d’Oulx is a short drive from Oulx, and Sestriere and Claviere are also reached up the same valley. Oulx is the main service centre of this part of the valley, with rail links, motorway access, shops and everyday services, while Susa is the nearest larger historic town down-valley. The area is known for winter sports and for the road and rail route over the Montgenèvre and Fréjus corridors toward France.
