Casa bifamiliare
A 600 metri dalla stazione di Susa, tipica casa di corte sviluppata su più livelli che conserva il fascino dello stile montano. La proprietà è composta da tre ambienti ben distinti dai diversi piani dell'immobile, collegati in modo funzionale ma con accessi indipendenti che ne valorizzano la versatilità. Al piano terra…

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €28,000 (€389/m²), the headline price looks attractive, but the house is mostly in its original condition and needs substantial renovation. Adding an estimated €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €78,400 (€1,089/m²), far above the €345/m² local benchmark; the listing also does not state the construction year or provide a formal condition rating.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable mountain-style townhouse with atmospheric vaulted rooms, exposed timber ceilings, wood balconies, and a cozy tavernetta-like living space. It is roofed, furnished, and equipped with kitchens and bathrooms, but remains dated and compact rather than move-in polished. The historic character is stronger than the setting, which is a dense, plain courtyard with no visible landscape view.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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.
- Mostly in its original condition and likely needs modernization.
- Upper-level rooms are reached via an external communal staircase; there is no elevator.
- Low energy class G and some interiors feel cramped and dated.
- No private garden or meaningful scenic view is shown.
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 upper Susa Valley in the Cottian Alps. The Dora Riparia runs through the valley. The Gran Bosco di Salbertrand regional park is nearby on the valley side. The nearest ski lifts are in the Bardonecchia area and at Sauze d’Oulx on the Via Lattea domain, reached by road in roughly 25–35 minutes depending on the exact hamlet. Susa is the nearest town of size and has rail services, shops and notable Roman remains including the Arch of Augustus and the amphitheatre area. This part of the valley is known for Alpine transit routes toward Montgenèvre and the Fréjus corridor, and for military forts such as the Forte di Exilles in the valley.
