Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 (€470/m²), the effective cost is about €670/m² after allowing for an older 2000 renovation, well above the local €345/m² benchmark. It appears usable immediately and has 149 m², garden access and 37 photos, but the remote mountain hamlet, energy class F and single bathroom limit the value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely beautiful, livable mountain home with exceptional brick-vaulted interiors, timber ceilings, a fireplace, cotto floors, and a green private setting with mountain views. It was fully renovated around 2000 and appears immediately usable rather than a renovation shell, although the exterior and neighboring rural structures show some age. At €70,000 for roughly 149 sqm, it has strong dream-home and value appeal.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Parking is limited, with only a small nearby car area and direct access for one vehicle.
- The property is in a quiet mountain hamlet about 5 km from Barge, so it is not a conventional town setting.
- Some adjoining stone outbuildings appear substantially weathered or derelict.
- There is only one bathroom visible 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 71/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Cottian Alps, where the plain around Saluzzo meets the mountain valleys leading toward Paesana and the upper Po. The Po rises on Monviso above Pian del Re, and Monviso dominates the skyline from this part of the valley. The Parco del Monviso begins up-valley, and the upper Po valley is the main named landscape feature of the area. The nearest ski lifts are the small facilities at Rucas near Bagnolo Piemonte, roughly 20–30 minutes by road, while the larger lifts of Crissolo are about 35–45 minutes away. Saluzzo is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services, and Pinerolo is the nearest larger urban centre. The area is known for orchards and mixed Alpine foothill farming, with Bagnolo Piemonte nearby also known for stone quarrying.
