See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 for 202 m², the property needs complete renovation estimated at about €1,100/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €301,000 or €1,491/m² versus a local reference of €261/m². The panoramic setting, garden and accessory spaces add appeal, but the listing does not say how many bathrooms there are.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful Piedmont farmhouse with a genuine panoramic hillside setting, a long balcony, private garden, vaulted brick cellar and traditional beams and masonry. However, it is currently a renovation project rather than a livable home: the interiors are bare and deteriorated, bathrooms are not shown or listed, and some structures appear agricultural or semi-derelict.
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€80,000 – €118,000
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 property is explicitly completely to renovate and appears to have no usable bathroom or kitchen.
- Extensive cracking, deteriorated plaster, exposed masonry and rough agricultural areas suggest substantial structural and systems work.
- The roof, utilities, drainage and legal feasibility of converting the terrace/deposit areas should be professionally verified.
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 67/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills on the Tanaro valley side, with vineyard and mixed farm country around it. The Tanaro runs by Clavesana. The nearest substantial town is Mondovì, which has a larger historic centre, rail access and the usual services. This part of southern Piedmont is known for wine, hazelnuts and hill villages; the core Barolo vineyard zone lies farther north and does not fall inside the immediate area.
