What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 plus an estimated €35,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,880/m²—over five times the €345/m² local benchmark. The garage, cellar, terrace and castle view add appeal, but not enough to offset the heavy renovation burden and high all-in price.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, roofed and furnished townhouse with a particularly memorable outlook toward a historic castle, plus a bright enclosed terrace and garage. It is usable rather than a ruin, but the interiors are old-fashioned and some lower-level rooms and systems look more like storage or utility space, so renovation will be needed before it feels like a dream home.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.

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 58/100The cluster is on the Canavese plain at the foot of the Graian Alps, with the first alpine valleys beginning within about 15 km to the north and west. The Orco and Malone watercourses run through the Canavese area, and the landscape around Rivarolo is mainly fields, small settlements and views toward the mountains. The nearest larger centre is Ivrea, which has a substantial historic core and services; Turin is the main city for higher-level rail, hospitals and airport but lies beyond the immediate landscape. The area is known for the historic Canavese zone of small towns, castles and prealpine valleys.
