At €833/m² before any works, this furnished townhouse is priced well above the €345/m² level typical for comparable Piemonte listings; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified updates makes the effective cost about €1,033/m². The private garden, garage, terrace and 21 photos are positives, but the listing does not say whether the home is fully habitable or provide its energy class, and the hamlet location offers limited evidence of added value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, comfortable home rather than a renovation shell, with a bright fitted kitchen, two living areas, multiple bedrooms, balconies, a fireplace, garage, and a private garden. The leafy setting, long facade balcony, covered outdoor dining area, exposed beam, and traditional wood details give it strong everyday Italian-living appeal, although the interiors are more homely and dated than luxurious.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 fully usable but dated in style and furnishings.
- The wooded setting is attractive, though there is no dramatic sea, lake, or mountain panorama visible.
- The property includes several practical levels and exterior structures that may require ongoing maintenance.
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.
