See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €78,000 price equals €1,040/m² for the 75 m² dwelling, nearly twice the €524/m² local benchmark; allowing about €30,000 for energy and utility upgrades raises the effective cost to roughly €1,440/m². The house is usable and has a garden, but single glazing, energy class G, no current gas connection, and no hot water in the kitchen weaken the value; the listing does not clearly state its overall condition.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric mountain home with dramatic Alpine scenery, a private garden, timber-clad interiors, exposed beams, stonework, and a substantial traditional fireplace. The main house appears furnished, floored, equipped with a kitchen, and realistically usable rather than an empty renovation shell. It is rustic and somewhat dated, but the character and setting make this a highly dreamable €78,000 retreat.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €15,000
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 garden and some exterior areas look overgrown and will need maintenance.
- The separate rustic outbuilding appears more like storage than finished living space.
- Bathroom, utilities, heating performance, and structural condition are not 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 78/100The cluster is in the upper Ossola at the foot of Monte Rosa, with steep alpine valley sides and high peaks enclosing the Anzasca valley. The Anza river runs through the valley. Macugnaga lies up-valley and is the nearest ski area, with lifts on the Monte Rosa side reached in about 20 minutes by road. The nearest town of size is Domodossola, which has rail links, services and a substantial historic centre, about half an hour away. The area is known for Walser settlements and for access toward the east face of Monte Rosa.
