What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the asking price is only €314/m², the property is presented as a multi-level recovery project; allowing about €1,100/m² for restoration brings the effective cost to roughly €1,214/m², far above the €335/m² local comparison level. The listing does not say whether it is currently habitable or clarify permits, structural condition, and renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
This is a photogenic traditional mountain house with warm façades, wooden shutters, ornate wrought-iron balconies, and a wooded Alpine setting. However, it is explicitly offered as a property to renovate, and the absent interior gallery makes it impossible to confirm that it is currently usable as a home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€69,000 – €103,000
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.
- Clearly marketed as a renovation project, with weathered façades and no interior photos to confirm habitability.
- Utilities, bathroom/kitchen condition, roof, and structural status are not shown.
- Access appears to be via a narrow residential lane.
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 71/100The cluster sits in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps around the valley and the upper valley rising toward peaks on the French border. The Stura di Lanzo runs through this part of the valley. Ceres is one of the main small centres of the Val Grande di Lanzo, with everyday services and the Torino–Ceres rail link toward the plain. The nearest larger town is Lanzo Torinese, and Turin is the main city for higher-order services. This area is known for alpine valley settlements, hiking and summer access into the Lanzo valleys.
