At €34,000 (€149/m²), the headline price is far below local listings, but the 228 m² property is a former pizzeria with storage areas and only a possible, not guaranteed, change of use to housing. It is completely to renovate, putting the estimated effective cost around €1,349/m² before conversion, permits, and legal checks.
More on the house and the area
This unusually large village property has striking vaulted interiors, colorful ceilings, terracotta floors, timber paneling and a substantial brick fireplace. However, it is not move-in ready: the former pizzeria and upstairs apartment need significant renovation, and part of the building may require a residential change of use.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€90,000 – €133,000
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.
- The property is described as completely needing renovation.
- The ground-floor pizzeria requires a change-of-use process to become residential.
- The interiors show peeling finishes, dated installations and a worn courtyard.
- It is in a village street with no private garden or meaningful view.
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 61/100The cluster lies on the plain at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with the Varaita valley and Maira valley opening a short distance west and southwest. The Maira river runs by Busca. Cuneo is the nearest larger town, with full services and rail connections. Saluzzo is nearby and has a substantial historic centre. The area is known for fruit growing on the plain and for being the approach to the lower Alpine valleys; ski lifts are farther up the valleys and do not sit in the immediate 15 km surroundings.
