At €30,800 (€540/m²), this habitable apartment is attractively priced upfront, with autonomous heating and a cellar. Allowing roughly €200/m² for routine updating brings the effective cost to about €740/m², slightly above the €672/m² local benchmark; the listing does not state the bathroom situation or energy class.
More on the house and the area
This is a bright, finished apartment with attractive skylights, wood-look flooring, and modern bathrooms, but the design is generic rather than distinctly Italian. The plain apartment-block exterior and lack of views, outdoor space, or historic features make it a practical bargain more than a dream home.
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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
- No Italian historic character, garden, terrace, or notable view is shown.
- The gallery appears inconsistent, with multiple bathrooms and interiors that may not match the listed 57 m² apartment.
- Kitchen and full everyday livability are not clearly documented; verify the actual condition and layout.
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 cluster lies at the edge of the Valli di Lanzo, with the lower Graian Alps rising a short distance to the north and west. The Stura di Lanzo valley system begins nearby and shapes the area more than the open Turin plain to the south. The nearest larger town is Ciriè, which provides everyday services and rail links, while Turin is the main city for higher-order services and work. The area is known for the transition from plain to prealpine valley and for access into the Lanzo valleys, but the immediate surroundings are mostly settled foothill and plain landscape rather than a protected or singular landmark setting.
