At €73,120 (€287/m²), the asking price is close to comparable Piemonte stock, but allowing roughly €200/m² for likely updating brings the effective cost to about €487/m². The listing presents useful features such as independent heating, a kitchen, furnishings and a cellar, but the room count conflicts with the description and bathrooms, condition and energy details are not stated.
More on the house and the area
A large, genuinely lived-in Piedmontese courtyard house with a warm yellow façade, traditional shutters, tiled floors, woodwork, and an old rural outbuilding. The main rooms, kitchen, and bathrooms look functional rather than abandoned, but the home is very cluttered and dated, while the old roof structure may require substantial repair. At €73,120 for 255 m², the space is a compelling bargain, though it lacks a spectacular view or polished presentation.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- The main house appears usable, but interiors are heavily cluttered and dated and would need clearing and cosmetic updating.
- The photographed old roof/attic or barn structure shows significant deterioration and possible daylight gaps; its condition needs professional inspection.
- No strong landscape view or private garden is evident from the gallery.
- Auction/legal status and utilities should be verified.
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 59/100The area sits on the edge of the Colli Tortonesi, with low hills of vineyards and mixed farmland rising from the plain. The Scrivia valley is nearby, and the Curone and Ossona valleys are close in the hill country to the east and south-east. Tortona is the nearest town of size, with a cathedral, a compact historic centre and rail links on the Genoa–Milan axis. The area is known for wine from the Colli Tortonesi, especially Timorasso, and for mixed agricultural countryside between the Po plain and the Ligurian Apennine foothills.
