Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €330/m², the €99,000 asking price is close to the local €345/m² benchmark before renovation. The listing includes about 100 m² still to finish, a 200 m² artisan workshop, and the property is sold rented, so the effective cost and residential usability are materially weaker than the headline price suggests.
More on the house and the area
A practical, furnished home with sweeping mountain-and-valley views, generous balconies, a huge usable terrace, and approximately 2,500 sqm of private garden. The main living area appears habitable, but this is not a polished dream cottage: much of the property is workshop space, one large area is unfinished, and it is sold rented.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €105,000
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 property is sold occupied/tenanted, so immediate personal use may be restricted.
- A roughly 100 sqm open space remains unfinished.
- The 200 sqm ground-floor workshop and extensive outbuildings may require cleanup or repurposing; energy class G.
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 76/100The cluster sits at the foot of Monviso in the upper Po valley. The Po rises on the slopes above Pian del Re in the same valley, and the Monviso massif dominates the western skyline within this area. The Parco del Monviso surrounds the upper valley and links to the protected high mountain area around the source of the Po. The nearest ski lifts are the small lifts at Crissolo, reached in about 20 minutes by road. Saluzzo is the nearest substantial town, with services, a preserved historic centre and the brick hilltop Castiglia. The area is known for mountain pasture, fruit growing in the valley floor, and as the approach to the headwaters of the Po.
