See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€340/m²), the completely unrestored 250 m² building could require roughly €275,000 in works, bringing the effective cost to about €1,440/m² versus €333/m² for comparable homes in the area. Its central location and multi-unit potential are positives, but the renovation burden makes this expensive.
More on the house and the area
A substantial historic town house with charming balconies, traditional shutters, old details and appealing views toward the rooftops and surrounding Piemonte mountains. However, this is a major renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home: the interiors are very dated and worn, despite retaining floors, radiators, kitchens and multiple bathrooms.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€99,000 – €146,000
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 entire building is explicitly sold as completely needing renovation, with visibly worn interiors, damp/peeling finishes and outdated services.
- No attractive garden or private outdoor space is shown; the balconies overlook dense neighboring rooftops.
- The roof, utilities, bathrooms and structural condition should be professionally verified before purchase.
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 72/100The cluster sits in the lower Valle Maira at the point where the valley opens onto the Cuneo plain, with the Cottian Alps rising immediately to the west. The Maira river runs through Dronero. The valley above Dronero is the main named landscape within reach, with a sequence of alpine villages, side valleys and higher pasture and larch country as it climbs toward the upper Alps. Dronero itself has a substantial historic centre and the Ponte del Diavolo, the medieval stone bridge over the Maira. Cuneo is the nearest town of size, with full services, rail connections and a larger urban centre on the plain. The area is known for access into the Maira Valley and for the Occitan culture of the western Cuneo valleys.
