What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 (€422/m²), the property is already above the local €266/m² reference before renovation. The listing says both buildings need work, so estimated total investment rises to roughly €229,000, or €1,223/m²; the 6,000 m² of land and extra outbuildings add value but do not offset the heavy renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric Piemonte farmhouse with traditional shutters, tiled roofs, rustic balconies, surrounding greenery and a beautiful panoramic valley view. The main dwelling appears roofed, floored and genuinely usable, with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and living spaces, though it needs modernization. The second building is largely a restoration and conversion project, but the private garden and approximately 6,000 sqm of land add substantial lifestyle appeal.
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, €800/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€37,000 – €66,000
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 needs renovation, especially the secondary building and outbuildings.
- The main house is usable but dated, with basic finishes and only one bathroom.
- The rural setting and access should be checked carefully, along with utilities and heating.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Langhe hills, with ridged vineyard and hazelnut country and wooded slopes around the upper Belbo valley. The Alta Langa landscape is the main fact here, and Bossolasco is known as one of the hill villages of this part of the Langhe. The Tanaro valley lies nearby, and the Ligurian Alps are farther south on clear days but not within the immediate landscape. Alba is the nearest substantial town in daily use, with services, shops and rail connections. This wider area is known for wine, hazelnuts and white truffles, and the Vineyard Landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato UNESCO site is in the wider Langhe area, though the core protected zones are not centered on Bossolasco itself.
