Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 (€377/m²), the asking price is close to the local €345/m² reference, but the listing does not state the condition or construction year and the G energy rating suggests likely upgrades. Allowing about €39,000 for modernization brings the effective cost near €88,000, partly offset by the 2,500 m² garden, cellar, terrace and covered parking.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable country home with a large private garden, balcony, covered parking, and a wonderfully atmospheric vaulted brick cellar. The main living level is furnished and functional, but strongly old-fashioned, while the exterior and roofline show maintenance needs; its appeal is more authentic and practical than visually spectacular.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Very dated interiors and kitchen/bathroom finishes will likely need refreshing.
- The roof edges and exterior plaster show visible wear requiring inspection.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a five-bedroom property.
- The lower-level rooms and vaulted cellar are rustic, storage/workshop spaces rather than finished living areas.
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 76/100The cluster sits at the foot of Monviso in the upper Po valley. The Po rises on the slopes above Pian del Re in the same valley, and the Monviso massif dominates the western skyline within this area. The Parco del Monviso surrounds the upper valley and links to the protected high mountain area around the source of the Po. The nearest ski lifts are the small lifts at Crissolo, reached in about 20 minutes by road. Saluzzo is the nearest substantial town, with services, a preserved historic centre and the brick hilltop Castiglia. The area is known for mountain pasture, fruit growing in the valley floor, and as the approach to the headwaters of the Po.
