At €59,000 (€527/m²), the estimated all-in cost is about €81,400, or €727/m² after allowing roughly €22,400 for habitable-condition updates—more than twice the local benchmark of €345/m². Its central location, garage, balcony, heating and panoramic outlook add appeal, but the price is high for this market.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, comfortable village home rather than a renovation shell, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a working kitchen, heating, garage, cellar and balcony. The warm living room, attractive wooden spiral staircase and glimpses of the surrounding hills add character, while the €59,000 price for 112 sqm is compelling. Its main weakness is that the décor and exterior are old-fashioned rather than beautifully restored.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but distinctly dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The exterior and neighboring buildings show weathering and limited private outdoor space.
- A panoramic view is visible, but it is not the dominant feature of the home.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills, with ridges of pasture, hazelnut groves and small fields. The Bormida valley is nearby, and the Tanaro valley lies farther north. This part of the Alta Langa is known for Murazzano sheep’s milk cheese and for hazelnuts. Alba is the nearest larger town of note, with a full service centre and a substantial historic core. The wider Langhe wine landscape around Alba, Barolo and Barbaresco has UNESCO status, but the core vineyard area is farther north of Murazzano.
