What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €58,000 (€611/m²), this move-in-ready 95 m² apartment is priced about 31% below comparable local listings. Its good condition, furnishings, garage, three balconies, recent facade and roof, and absence of condominium fees support a strong value case, despite the less desirable inland location and energy class G.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, furnished family apartment with generous rooms, three balconies, a garage, and pleasant wooded-hill views. The polished stone floors, bright living areas, and solid everyday layout give it real usability, though the decor and kitchen/bathroom are dated and there is little historic character or outdoor land.
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 – €11,000
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.
- Interiors are well maintained but quite dated and heavily furnished.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating costs.
- The attic appears useful for storage but is unfinished and not living space.
- The setting is practical and residential rather than a postcard Italian village or coastal location.
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 58/100The area sits in the upper Bormida valley on the Ligurian Apennines, with wooded ridges and a river corridor shaped by the Bormida di Millesimo. The Langhe hills begin nearby on the Piedmont side, and the landscape around the village is a mix of valley floor, chestnut and mixed woodland, and small cultivated slopes. Millesimo, a short drive away, has a preserved historic centre and is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. Cairo Montenotte is the nearest larger town, with the main services and rail connections for this part of the valley. The wider area is known for woodland, upper-valley villages and the transition between inland Liguria and southern Piedmont.
