188 sqm semi-detached rustico in Narzole (Langhe) at €133/m2, about half the regional baseline of €264/m2, so the entry price is strong. Fresh listing (1 day). Structure needs full renovation (built ~1900, 'completamente da ristrutturare', APE exempt), so budget ~€1000-1400/m2 to make habitable. Good location near Novello/La Morra, private garden, cellar, garage. Note the agricultural land lot is sold separately, not included. Solid value for a buyer willing to renovate.
More on the house and the area
Semi-detached rustico in Narzole (Langhe) at very low €133/m2. First photo is clearly labeled RENDER showing an idealized restored state; actual photos reveal a heavily deteriorated red-facade building needing full renovation (peeling plaster, exposed roof, gutted interior with scaffolding). Modest hillside/Langhe countryside setting with private garden and optional adjacent farmland. Bargain price and location near famous Langhe wine towns give some appeal, but current state is unremarkable and the render risks misleading. No standout view or historic character beyond typical 1900 rural build.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€75,000 – €110,000
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.

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 84/100The cluster sits in the Langhe area, on cultivated hills between the Tanaro valley and the first rises toward the Ligurian Apennine side. The Tanaro river runs nearby, and the hills around Narzole are part of the wine landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape. The nearest larger town is Alba, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. Bra is also close and is one of the main towns of this part of the province. The area is known for vineyards, hazelnuts and the food-and-wine landscape associated with Barolo and the Langhe.
