What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the asking price is €65,000, the description says the home needs renovation; allowing roughly €70,000 for 100 m² brings the effective cost to about €1,350/m². That is far above the local comparison level of €265/m², so the garden, parking and good access do not offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine Piedmontese farmhouse with a long tiled roof, shutters, balcony, private garden and pleasant open views across nearby fields. The main dwelling appears roofed and habitable rather than ruined, with finished floors and occupied-looking interiors, but it is distinctly old-fashioned and needs meaningful renovation. Its strongest appeal is the authentic rural character and generous outdoor space, not polished beauty or a turnkey lifestyle.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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 property is explicitly described as needing renovation, with visibly aged façades, balcony railings, outbuildings and exterior coverings.
- The interiors appear usable but very dated, and the gallery does not show a modern kitchen or clearly renovated bathroom.
- The large agricultural outbuildings and covered areas may require substantial maintenance or conversion work.
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 61/100The cluster is on the plain at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with the Val Chisone and Val Pellice opening west of Pinerolo and Monte Viso visible more broadly from this part of the province in clear weather. The Chisone and Pellice rivers run down from those valleys into the plain near the town. The nearest ski lifts are in the upper Val Chisone around Pragelato and Sestriere, roughly an hour or more by road, so they are not part of the immediate landscape. Pinerolo is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services, schools and a rail link toward Turin. This area is known for its position between the Torinese plain and the western Alpine valleys, and for the historical Waldensian presence in the Val Pellice nearby.
