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
At €89,000 for 216 sqm, the ask is €412/sqm; assuming habitable condition adds about €200/sqm renovation, the effective cost is roughly €612/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €322/sqm, so it is not cheap on this catalog basis. Large detached villa with 38 photos, garage, terrace and panoramic Alpine views are positives, but the pricing looks ordinary-to-high for this sub-€100k segment rather than a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable detached house, not a shell: roofed, furnished, with lived-in rooms, terrace space and substantial square footage for the price. The wooded plot and hillside setting give it some atmosphere, but the architecture is ordinary and the property feels dated and a bit neglected rather than dreamily beautiful. Good value and livable, but the wow comes more from size and setting potential than from immediate charm.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€14,000 – €24,000
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.
- Exterior is plain and dated rather than visually striking.
- Interiors look habitable but tired, with likely need for cosmetic updating.
- Garden/grounds are overgrown and need clearing and landscaping.
- Views are only lightly shown and partly screened by trees.
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 61/100The cluster is in the Bormida valley hill country between the Langhe and the Ligurian Apennines. The Bormida di Millesimo runs through this area, with wooded ridges and mixed farmland around the villages. The Ligurian Apennines are close to the south, but the higher alpine scenery of the main Cuneo ranges is much farther away. Saliceto has a medieval castle, and Millesimo nearby is one of the small historic centres of this upper Val Bormida. The area is known for woodland, hazelnuts and mixed hill agriculture rather than for a single major landmark.
