Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000, the home costs €531/m² before works; allowing about €112,000 for the stated renovation needs brings the effective cost to roughly €1,231/m², far above the €337/m² local comparison level. The generous land and covered terrace add appeal, but the required investment makes this weak value for a renovation project.
More on the house and the area
A substantial country house with a huge covered terrace, private outdoor space, and attractive rolling countryside views. The interiors are clean, floored, heated, and clearly habitable, though dated and in need of updating rather than a full rebuild.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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 home is solid and usable but needs renovation and modernization.
- Kitchen areas and some systems are not shown in the gallery, so their condition is unclear.
- Large outdoor areas and terrace will require ongoing maintenance.
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 61/100San Damiano d'Asti sits in the Roero hill country, with cultivated ridges and small valleys between the Tanaro plain and the Langhe. The Tanaro river corridor lies nearby to the west. Asti is the nearest larger town, with rail connections, services and a substantial historic centre. Alba is also close enough for regular use and is the main town of the wine area south of the Tanaro. This part of Piemonte is known for vineyards, hazelnuts and wine production.
