At €99,900 for 265 m², the property is priced at €377/m² before improvements; assuming €200/m² for a home described as immediately habitable, the effective cost is about €577/m² versus roughly €345/m² for comparable homes. Two independent apartments, parking space, terrace, and good condition add practical value, but the remote location and substantial premium limit the deal quality.
More on the house and the area
This is an unusually substantial, immediately habitable two-apartment home with beautiful exposed brick vaults, parquet floors, woodwork, beams, fireplaces, balconies, and mountain scenery. It feels like a real lived-in Italian house rather than a renovation project, while 265 sqm at €99,900 gives it strong bargain appeal. The main limitation is that the outdoor space is mostly paved and the interiors are charming but distinctly dated.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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 large paved frontage appears more communal or driveway-like than a private garden.
- The property is furnished in a dated traditional style and may benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The listing does not confirm utilities, heating efficiency, or legal details for both apartments.
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 at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with Monviso dominating the upper Po valley a short distance to the west. The Po rises nearby at Pian del Re above Crissolo, and this stretch of the Valle Po is the main natural frame of the area. Saluzzo is the nearest substantial town, with a large historic centre below the hill of the old town. The area is known for fruit growing on the plain and lower slopes, and for access into the Monviso side valleys.
