At €85,000 (€1,104/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €1,304/m² after modest habitable-condition work, well above the €671/m² local benchmark. New plumbing and electrical systems, double exposure, and two balconies help, but the fifth-floor walk-up, energy class F, and elevated price limit the deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable Turin apartment with a strong, distinctive interior: bold botanical wallpaper, deep colors, vintage-style lighting, terrazzo floors and attractive original-looking doors create real character. The kitchen and bathroom are functional, and the listing says the electrical and plumbing systems are new, though the home lacks a proven view or outdoor setting and the fifth-floor access is a practical drawback.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Fifth and top floor with no elevator
- Energy class F may mean higher running costs
- No exterior view or building facade is shown in the gallery
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 55/100The cluster is inside the built-up area of Turin, in the Po plain at the foot of the Alps. The Po runs through the city and the hills of the Collina di Torino rise immediately to the east. Turin is a major regional capital with extensive services, universities, museums and major transport links. The Residences of the Royal House of Savoy in and around the city are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is known for its historic urban fabric, former royal residences, industry and museums rather than for a rural or natural landscape within 15 km.
