In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,900 for 205 m², the effective cost is about €688/m² after allowing for habitable-home updates, versus a local median near €276/m². The independent villa has attractive features—garage, cellar, fireplace, balcony and terrace—but its inland location and substantial premium weaken the deal.
More on the house and the area
A substantial independent brick villa with a handsome, photogenic façade, generous garden, traditional tiled floors, fireplaces, balconies, and mature greenery. The home is genuinely habitable, with a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, heating, and multiple furnished rooms, though the interiors need cosmetic updating rather than a full rebuild. At 205 sqm and just under €100,000, its size, character, and outdoor space create strong dream-home appeal.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but noticeably dated, with patchy paint and older fixtures.
- The property appears to need cosmetic modernization and some maintenance to the garden, outbuildings, and exterior gates.
- No dramatic panoramic view is shown; the setting is leafy and semi-rural rather than spectacular.
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 61/100The area sits in the hills of the Alto Monferrato, with vine-covered ridges, small woods and cultivated valleys. The Bormida valley is the main river landscape nearby. Nizza Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with a working historic centre and services; Asti is the larger city in the wider area. This part of Monferrato is known for vineyards and wine production, especially Barbera. The core UNESCO wine landscape of Monferrato is farther east around Nizza Monferrato and does not lie directly on this cluster.
