At €75,000 plus an estimated €9,800 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €1,731/m² versus €673/m² for comparable Piemonte apartments. Central Turin, balcony, cellar, heating and furnishings add value, but the asking price remains substantially high.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable Turin apartment in an unusually elegant historic building, with ornate stonework, classical balconies, and a beautiful entrance facade. The interior is modest and dated rather than spectacular, but it has a working kitchen, tiled floors, heating, furnishings, and a clear move-in-ready feel.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Compact 49 sqm apartment with a somewhat narrow, densely furnished layout.
- Urban street setting with no notable view or outdoor space beyond the balcony.
- Interior is clearly usable but visually dated and would benefit from decluttering and cosmetic refreshes.
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 55/100The cluster is inside the continuous built-up area of Turin, so the immediate surroundings are urban streets, dense neighbourhoods, rail corridors and major roads. The Po runs through the city, with the Dora Riparia and Stura di Lanzo also crossing the urban area. The Alpine arc is visible to the west and north, but it lies beyond the 15 km landscape that counts here. Turin is the regional capital and has the main concentration of services, universities, museums and transport in Piedmont. The Residences of the Royal House of Savoy in and around Turin are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
