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 €70,000 for 80 sqm, the asking price is €875/sqm; with a typical habitable-home refresh of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is about €1,075/sqm. That is far above this stock baseline of €352/sqm in Piemonte, so despite being livable and including land/covered parking, it looks expensive for the sub-€100k comparables.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home: furnished, heated, with kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms all clearly in working order. The orchard/garden adds genuine lifestyle appeal and helps the value, but the house itself is modest and dated rather than visually dreamy. It feels more practical and affordable than swoon-worthy.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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/courtyard is functional rather than pretty
- Interiors are dated and somewhat cluttered
- No proven standout views from the house itself
- Outbuilding/garage area looks basic and rough
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 67/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Cottian Alps, in the lower Val Lemina between wooded slopes and the plain around Pinerolo. The Lemina torrent runs through the valley. The nearest town of size is Pinerolo, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail links toward Turin. The first Alpine valleys of the Pinerolese are close by, with ski areas in the upper Chisone valley around Pragelato and Sestriere reached by a mountain drive of roughly an hour or more. This part of western Piemonte is known for the transition from plain to Alpine foothills and for the Waldensian valleys nearby.
