What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €67,000 asking price is attractive at €299/m² versus a €345/m² local benchmark, and the home is described as habitable with independent heating, garage, terrace, balcony and cellar. Allowing roughly €44,800 for updates brings the effective cost to about €499/m², while the inland location limits additional value.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
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 66/100The cluster lies at the mouth of the Valli di Lanzo, where the first Alpine relief rises from the Canavese plain. The Graian Alps are the mountain backdrop within this radius, with wooded lower slopes and ridges above the built villages. The Stura di Lanzo runs through the nearby valleys. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of some size, with rail connection toward Turin and the normal services of a valley town. Turin is the main city used for higher-level services and work commuting, but it lies beyond the immediate landscape. This part of the Canavese is known for the transition from plain to pre-Alpine valleys and for hiking and summer second-home villages in the Lanzo valleys.
