What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Independent townhouse (terratetto) of 130sqm at 608 EUR/m2, ~73% above regional median of 351 but that baseline mixes all conditions/locations. Solid extras: 1000+sqm private garden, garage, parking, taverna. Fully needs renovation (1960 build), so budget ~600 EUR/m2 (~78k) for full gut, roughly doubling total outlay. At ~157k all-in for a large independent house with big land, it's reasonable but not a steal given the renovation burden and missing energy class. Fresh listing (0 days). Fair deal for a buyer wanting to customize.
More on the house and the area
A 1960s terratetto in central Villanova Canavese in fully gutted condition. Standout asset is the 1,000+ sqm private garden with mature fruit trees, plus garage, parking and a taverna. Brick vaulted ceilings in some rooms add modest character. Interiors are stripped and rubble-strewn; exterior courtyard is tired and unremarkable. Distant hill/mountain view from the balcony is pleasant but not dramatic. At 608 EUR/sqm the price is low, but heavy renovation costs offset the bargain appeal. No genuine scroll-stopping visual moment.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €46,000
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 61/100The cluster lies at the edge of the Valli di Lanzo, with the lower Graian Alps rising a short distance to the north and west. The Stura di Lanzo valley system begins nearby and shapes the area more than the open Turin plain to the south. The nearest larger town is Ciriè, which provides everyday services and rail links, while Turin is the main city for higher-order services and work. The area is known for the transition from plain to prealpine valley and for access into the Lanzo valleys, but the immediate surroundings are mostly settled foothill and plain landscape rather than a protected or singular landmark setting.
