At €70,000 (€636/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €836/m² after allowing roughly €22,000 for basic upkeep, well above the local €337/m² benchmark. The Langhe vineyard setting near Neive, terrace, parking and immediate habitability justify some premium, but not enough to make this a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely charming Langhe farmhouse with a beautiful stone-paved courtyard, traditional shutters, tiled roof, balconies, and a wide view across the vineyard-covered hills. The vaulted brick cellar and agricultural spaces add authentic character, while the upper-floor home appears solid, furnished, and immediately usable rather than a renovation shell. Its main limitation is that the living accommodation is simple and old-fashioned rather than polished or luxurious.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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 appear functional but dated and very basic, with likely cosmetic updating needed.
- Energy class G may mean higher heating costs and future efficiency work.
- Only one bathroom is listed for the three-bedroom layout.
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 82/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills, with vine-covered ridges and small wooded valleys around Mango. The Belbo valley runs nearby. This is wine country known for Moscato d'Asti and for the broader vineyard landscape of the Langhe. Alba is the nearest substantial town, with services, rail connections and a historic centre. The Langhe-Roero and Monferrato vineyard landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape, and Mango is within that wine-growing area.
