In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 plus roughly €9,000 for light work, the effective cost is about €1,200/m², well above the €672/m² comparison level. The central location, elevator, balcony, terrace, garage and recently updated bathroom add appeal, but the mountain setting and limited one-bedroom layout do not justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable mountain apartment with an exceptional balcony and terrace outlook over the Cantoira valley, forested peaks, and village rooftops. The interiors are modest and dated rather than stylish, but they appear solid, furnished, heated, and immediately usable. At €45,000, the combination of a dramatic alpine setting, outdoor space, elevator, and garage is particularly compelling.
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.
- The 45 sqm apartment has dated finishes and furnishings, so some cosmetic updating would improve it.
- The listing does not show the full bathroom or clearly document the kitchen setup.
- Energy class and exact heating costs beyond the stated condominium fee are not provided.
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 is in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps around it. The Stura di Lanzo system drains these valleys, and Ceres is the nearest small town with day-to-day services and the Torino–Ceres railway line. The nearest substantial city is Turin, down-valley, with the full range of urban services. The area is known for alpine valley settlements, chestnut woods and summer walking terrain; ski access is limited and the nearest lifts are in the upper Lanzo valleys, typically around Balme or Ala di Stura, reached by mountain-road drives.
