At €86,000 for 40 m², the effective cost is about €2,350/m², roughly seven times the local €336/m² reference despite the good stated condition. The listing does not confirm residential classification or habitability, adding uncertainty to this unusually small one-room property.
More on the house and the area
This is an independent, usable one-room ciabot with a bathroom, utilities, fenced garden, and an unusually large private plot for the area. However, the interiors are basic and dated, while the setting is suburban-industrial rather than scenic or characterful, so it feels more like a practical land opportunity than a dream Italian home.
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€3,000 – €4,000
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.
- Very small one-room layout with no dedicated bedroom.
- Interior is functional but dated, cluttered, and basic rather than move-in polished.
- The large plot is surrounded by industrial buildings, roads, and neighboring structures.
- The development potential and permitted buildability of the land should be verified 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 76/100The cluster is in the Roero hills, with mixed vineyards, orchards and wooded ridges between the Tanaro plain and the Langhe. The Tanaro river runs nearby. The nearest larger centre is Bra, which has a substantial historic centre and full daily services. Alba is also close enough to matter for shopping and work, and is one of the main towns of the Langhe wine area. This area is known for wine, especially Roero and nearby Barolo and Barbaresco zones, and for food culture linked to Bra sausage and the Slow Food movement based in nearby Pollenzo. Pollenzo has the UNESCO serial site of the Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato.
