At €59,000 (€153/m²), the asking price is far below the local €345/m² reference, but the listing does not state the condition and includes substantial accessory space, a magazzino and a former legnaia. Allowing roughly €550/m² for modernization puts the effective cost near €703/m², so the apparent discount may be largely offset by renovation uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is an unusually large pair of historic hillside homes with a genuinely beautiful panoramic valley view, generous garden/noccioleto, balconies, old fireplaces, and impressive brick-vaulted spaces. The main dwelling appears roofed and partly usable, but interiors show damp, peeling finishes, outdated systems, and extensive renovation needs; the second unit is considerably rougher. At €59,000, the scale and setting create a strong bargain-and-potential effect, but this is a substantial restoration project rather than a move-in dream home.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €550/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€77,000 – €135,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including damp/plaster repairs and modernization.
- One of the adjoining buildings appears more like a rustic storage/utility structure than a ready-to-live-in home.
- Bathrooms and utilities are not visually documented; verify systems, roof condition, and structural compliance.
- Large 386 sqm property and 1,300 sqm of garden will require significant upkeep.
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 67/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills on the Tanaro valley side, with vineyard and mixed farm country around it. The Tanaro runs by Clavesana. The nearest substantial town is Mondovì, which has a larger historic centre, rail access and the usual services. This part of southern Piedmont is known for wine, hazelnuts and hill villages; the core Barolo vineyard zone lies farther north and does not fall inside the immediate area.
