What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is for a portico/outbuilding that would need a change of use and full conversion into a home; it is not currently a legal dwelling. At €45,000 for 170 sqm plus a full conversion/restoration budget of about €1,100/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,365/sqm, far above the €352/sqm baseline.
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€67,000 – €99,000
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.
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 49/100The area sits on the Astigiano plain between the low hills of Monferrato to the east and the first rises toward the Poirino plateau and Turin plain to the west. The Triversa stream runs through this part of the countryside. Within about 15 km the main nearby centre is Villanova d'Asti, with rail services and everyday shops and services, while Asti is the nearest larger town beyond that radius. This is mixed agricultural country, known in the wider area for vineyards, cereals and livestock farming rather than for a single named natural feature.
