In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €63,750 asking price is €339/m², essentially in line with the €345/m² local benchmark, but the stated renovation need adds an estimated €131,600, bringing the effective cost to about €1,039/m². Only two photos are provided, and the listing gives no size-specific renovation details, heating specification, or habitability information.
More on the house and the area
This is a dense Turin urban property with no visible view, garden, or distinctive historic character. The only interior photo shows a fitted café, while the listing reports no bedrooms or bathrooms and requires renovation, so it does not currently read as a livable dream home.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€37,000 – €66,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 52/100This is in the built-up area south of Turin, on the Po plain by the Po river where it meets the lower valley of the Sangone. The hill of Moncalieri rises immediately east of the town and is part of the Torino hill system, with wooded slopes and the built ridge continuing toward Superga. Moncalieri Castle is a Savoy residence within the UNESCO World Heritage listing of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy. Turin is the nearest city and provides the full range of urban services, major museums, rail links and the airport. The area is known more for its suburban and river-corridor setting on the edge of Turin than for a distinct rural landscape within the immediate radius.
