See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €64,000 (€533/m²), this farmhouse needs substantial renovation; at roughly €1,100/m², the effective cost is about €1,633/m² versus a €266/m² local benchmark. The garden, cellar and outbuildings add utility, but the renovation burden makes this a weak project, and the listing does not say when it was built.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine Piemonte farmhouse with 1,000 m² of private garden, a modest mountain backdrop, and appealing period details including vaulted ceilings, terracotta floors, shutters and a wood-burning stove. The main 120 m² house is roofed and usable rather than an empty shell, but it is very dated and needs substantial renovation; the adjacent rustic buildings are much closer to project condition.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€48,000 – €70,000
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 sold needing renovation, with dated finishes, worn walls and aging windows.
- Several adjoining farm buildings are severely deteriorated and may require major structural work or demolition.
- Only one bathroom is shown for four bedrooms; utilities and systems should be verified.
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 lies at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with Monte Bracco and the first Alpine slopes immediately above the plain. The Po rises nearby at Pian del Re under Monviso, and Monviso is the dominant mountain in this part of the province. The lower Valle Po begins within this radius. Crissolo is the nearest ski area, with small lifts roughly 30–40 minutes away depending on the exact point. Saluzzo is the nearest substantial town, with a walled historic centre, services and rail connection toward the plain. This area is known for the Monviso massif, the source of the Po, and fruit growing on the plain at the foot of the mountains.
