At €95,000 (€1,145/m²), this is far above comparable local stock around €345/m², even allowing for a seemingly habitable home. The historic-center location, two bathrooms, autonomous heating and no condominium fees add appeal, but the listing does not state the property’s condition or the legal status of the attic bedroom.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, well-equipped townhouse in usable condition, with a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, heating, balconies, and a finished attic room. It is practical rather than dreamy: the enclosed shared courtyard, ordinary surroundings, and dated interiors provide little visual wow despite the home being readily livable.
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€6,000 – €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.
- Dated finishes, bathrooms, and furnishings would likely benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The home sits in a tight shared courtyard with no private garden or meaningful view.
- The attic bedroom and multi-level layout may be less convenient for some residents.
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 38/100The area lies on the northern edge of the Turin plain near the lower course of the Po, with the first hills of Canavese to the north and west and the Alpine chain visible farther off. The Po plain and irrigation countryside dominate within the immediate surroundings, with smaller watercourses including the Malone in the local area. Turin is the nearest major city and provides the full range of services, rail connections, universities, museums and airport access. The Residences of the Royal House of Savoy in and around Turin are a UNESCO World Heritage site, including Venaria Reale outside the city to the west, but this is beyond the immediate landscape of the cluster. The area is known for mixed agriculture, logistics and industry along the Turin metropolitan fringe.
