What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At an estimated €700/m² renovation cost, the effective price is about €1,105/m² (€145,000 total), far above the local €345/m² benchmark. The 131 m² townhouse has useful garage, cellar and balcony space, but its renovation burden and non-tourist inland location make this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
A substantial traditional townhouse with a garden, balcony, garage, old patterned tiles, arched details, carved wood furnishings, and pleasant green countryside views. The interiors are furnished and functional rather than a bare shell, but the house needs modernization and the agricultural outbuildings are visibly rough.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The main house appears usable but clearly dated and in need of renovation.
- Several roofs, sheds, and outbuildings look worn and may require substantial repairs.
- The bathroom is not shown, so its condition and modern usability are uncertain.
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 74/100The cluster sits at the foot of the Ligurian Alps, with the upper Pesio valley and the Marguareis massif close by. The Pesio stream runs through the valley here. The Parco Naturale del Marguareis begins just above the town and covers the high limestone mountains and forests of the valley head. The Certosa di Pesio lies a few kilometres up the valley. The nearest skiing is the small lift area at Rucas and the larger Mondolè ski areas around Frabosa and Artesina, reached in roughly 35–50 minutes by road. Cuneo is the nearest town of size, with full services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for mountain valleys, chestnut woods, pasture and access to hiking in the Marguareis karst area.
