Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €490/m², the asking price is roughly in line with comparable local stock, but only the kitchen and one bedroom are recently renovated while other rooms and the dependance need work. Allowing about €500/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to approximately €990/m²; the remote setting and 500-metre dirt-road access further limit value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable and highly characterful mountain home, with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, garden, and unusually atmospheric vaulted interiors. Exposed beams, timber floors, the long rustic balcony, wood-burning stoves, and private green space give it strong dream-home appeal rather than feeling like a bare renovation project.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Access includes approximately 500 m of unpaved road.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a four-room, three-bedroom home.
- Some externally accessed rooms and the detached annex may need personalization or refurbishment.
- The older roof and exterior timberwork should be checked carefully.
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 78/100The cluster sits in the upper Po valley at the foot of Monviso, with the Cottian Alps closing the western horizon. The Po rises above Paesana on the slopes below Monviso, and Crissolo with the source area is within the local mountain basin. The Monviso area is protected by the Parco del Monviso and connects to the cross-border Monviso biosphere area. The nearest ski lifts are the small facilities around Crissolo on the Monviso side, roughly 15 minutes by road from Paesana. Saluzzo is the nearest larger town, about half an hour away, with a substantial historic centre and everyday services. The area is known for mountain pasture landscapes, stone hamlets in the valley side villages, and fruit growing on the lower valley floor, especially the local chestnut and apple zone around Paesana.
