Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €750/m² before works and roughly €1,350/m² after allowing for the unfinished attic and likely updates, this is far above the local €192/m² reference. The stone mountain setting and 36 photos are positives, but the listing does not state the overall condition, and the remote hamlet location offers limited value support.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric Alpine stone baita with authentic masonry, timber balconies, a fireplace, sunny mountain scenery, and a quiet hamlet setting. The main living areas appear furnished, equipped, and genuinely usable, including a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living room; only the attic remains a clear renovation project.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €35,000
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 mansard attic is unfinished and would require renovation to become usable living space.
- The bedroom is reached by an external staircase, which may be less convenient in winter.
- Remote mountain setting at about 1,400m and energy class G may mean higher heating and access costs.
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 74/100The cluster is in the Varaita Valley in the Cottian Alps. The Varaita river runs through the valley. This is an Alpine area with steep wooded slopes, high pasture and stone hamlets, with the upper valley leading toward high passes on the French border. The Monviso area is nearby to the east side of the valley system, and the broader Monviso landscapes shape this part of the province even where the peak is not at the door. Sampeyre is a base for mountain walking and for Occitan culture and music in the upper valleys of Cuneo. The nearest ski terrain is at Sampeyre itself and around the upper Varaita valley, with larger lifts at Pontechianale and in the neighbouring valleys reached by mountain roads.
