At €36,000 (€200/m²), the 180 m² townhouse is inexpensive upfront, but renovation at about €700/m² brings the estimated all-in cost to roughly €162,000, or €900/m²—well above the local €345/m² reference. The description says it needs work, although the balcony, cellar and panoramic view add some value.
More on the house and the area
The panoramic balcony views over the Alpine valley and surrounding wooded mountains are the clear selling point, while the €36,000 price for 180 sqm is compelling. This is a substantial, roofed townhouse with floors, bathrooms and defined rooms rather than a ruin, but it needs a serious renovation before becoming a comfortable full-time 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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €63,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 72/100The cluster is in the Val Chisone, with the Cottian Alps rising immediately around it. The Chisone river runs through the valley. Fenestrelle and its fort are within the valley to the west. Pinerolo is the nearest larger town, with rail links, services and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for alpine valley settlement, woodland and pasture, and for the old military road and fort system of the upper Val Chisone. The nearest ski area is around Pragelato and the Via Lattea sector, reached up-valley in roughly 35–45 minutes by road.
