At €21,472 (€320/m²), this habitable 67 m² apartment is priced well below the local €672/m² benchmark. Allowing roughly €13,400 for light renovation gives an effective cost of about €521/m², still a strong discount, supported by 20 photos.
More on the house and the area
The €21,472 price is exceptionally low for a 67 sqm four-room apartment, but there is no proven Italian character, view, garden, or distinctive setting. The staged interiors look attractive and suggest a potentially usable home, yet they cannot be relied on to assess this actual apartment.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.

- No actual exterior, view, floor plan, kitchen, or bathroom for this property is shown.
- The listing says habitable, but the zero-bathroom fact and missing property-specific photos warrant verification.
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 68/100The area sits in the Monferrato hills, with low vine-covered ridges and cultivated slopes around the Po plain. The Po runs by Casale Monferrato, and the river landscape is part of daily life on the edge of town. To the north and west, within this part of Monferrato, there are vineyard hills, small hill villages and wine country tied to the Monferrato name. Casale Monferrato is the main town nearby and has a substantial historic centre, services, and major churches and civic buildings. Monferrato degli Infernot, a UNESCO World Heritage wine landscape, lies in this wider hill area and is associated with the stone cellars cut into the pietra da cantoni. The area is known for wine production, especially Barbera and Grignolino, and for rice country beginning out into the flatter lands toward Vercelli.
