What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €34,000 plus an estimated €5,600 for light work, the effective cost is about €1,414/m², more than double the €670/m² local benchmark. The good condition, elevator, and ski-resort setting in Artesina support the price somewhat, but this is not a clear bargain.
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€2,000 – €3,000
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.
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 Ligurian Alps, in the upper Maudagna valley below the Marguareis massif. The Corsaglia valley and the limestone relief around Frabosa lead into the Marguareis area, known for karst plateaus and cave systems. The ski lifts of Prato Nevoso and Artesina are nearby on the Frabosa side, reached in a short drive from the valley settlements. Mondovì is the nearest town of size, with a larger historic centre, services and rail connections. The area is known for mountain pastures, summer walking and winter skiing.
