In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000, the habitable 87 m² townhouse costs €632/m²; allowing roughly €17,400 for light updating gives an effective cost near €832/m², well above the €345/m² local comparison level. The garage, balcony, heating and panoramic view add practical value, but the listing does not say the construction year or energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable 87 sqm townhouse with a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, heating, garage, and bright rooms. Its standout feature is the superb balcony outlook over the rolling Langhe vineyard landscape and rooftops, offering a real sense of place at €55,000. It lacks historic character and private land, but the combination of livability, panoramic views, and price is highly compelling.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Interiors are clean and usable but cosmetically dated, especially the kitchen and bathroom finishes.
- The home is tightly packed into a hillside town, with modest balconies rather than private outdoor space.
- The exterior facade and balcony railings show some wear and would benefit from refreshing.
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 74/100The cluster lies in the Roero hills, with vineyard slopes, wooded ridges and small valleys cut by the Tanaro basin. The Tanaro river runs nearby below the hills. This is wine country known for Roero Arneis and for nebbiolo from the Roero side of the Alba area. Alba is the nearest substantial town, with a full service centre and a notable historic core. Much of the surrounding hill country is shaped by vine cultivation and scattered hamlets rather than by a single dominant monument or protected natural area.
