What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable townhouse at €667/m2 is nearly 2x the regional median (€350/m2), so not a bargain on price-per-sqm terms. However, condition is habitable, it's recent to market (1 day), has 20 photos, and includes attractive features: garage, heating, balcony, plus 30,000 m2 of surrounding land and proximity to ski lifts and thermal baths. These amenities partly justify the premium over the raw median. Building from 1900 means moderate renovation likely for modernization. No major structural red flags, but no energy class listed and the baseline comparison suggests it's priced above typical stock, making it a fair rather than great deal.
More on the house and the area
Habitable 1900 townhouse in the Piedmont mountains near Lurisia thermal baths and Monte Pigna ski lifts. Low price (€667/m²) plus a claimed 30,000 m² of surrounding land are the main draws. Green, leafy setting with hydrangeas and valley greenery visible from balconies. Interiors are cozy but cluttered, with dated finishes (pink tiled bathroom, worn flooring, bohemian decor). No standout architectural or view feature; charm is modest. The land and bargain price provide the only real wow potential.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€12,000 – €20,000
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 cluttered and lived-in, dated finishes
- Dated pink bathroom with worn flooring
- Photos show heavy personal belongings obscuring space
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 78/100The Maritime Alps rise immediately around Chiusa di Pesio, with the Valle Pesio running south toward the French border. The Pesio stream crosses the valley, and the area reaches into the Parco Naturale del Marguareis, part of the Marguareis massif known for limestone peaks, karst plateaus and cave systems. The nearest skiing is at small lifts in the mountain valleys around Frabosa and Artesina, roughly 30–45 minutes by road depending on the base area. Cuneo is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for mountain walking, woodland and pasture landscapes, and for the Certosa di Pesio just up the valley.
