Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €34,000 plus an estimated €16,000 for light works, the effective cost is about €625/m², well above the local €337/m² benchmark. The home is described as being in good condition, but the listing conflicts on bedroom count and does not say enough about utilities, heating, or legal status.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, roofed country house with bright rooms, a working fireplace, attractive exposed ceiling beams, and a private grassy courtyard/land. It is more charming than luxurious: the interiors are dated and show some maintenance issues, while the peeling façade needs attention, but it appears livable rather than a renovation shell.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Visible wall and ceiling wear, including peeling exterior plaster and possible damp staining.
- Interior is usable but dated, with old tile finishes, barred windows, and limited kitchen/bathroom presentation.
- The extent of the additional land, utilities, and any required repairs should be verified.
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 68/100This is the Roero hill country, with vine-covered ridges, small woods and mixed farming between the Tanaro valley and the lower hills toward Asti. The Tanaro river runs a few kilometres away near Alba and marks the edge between Roero and the Langhe. Within about 15 km the main town of size is Asti, with a substantial historic centre, cathedral and services; Alba is a little farther beyond that radius but still part of everyday geography for this area. The area is known for wine, including nearby Roero vineyards, and for hazelnuts in the wider Alba-Asti countryside.
