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 €42,000 for 132 sqm, the ask is €318/sqm; with habitable-condition renovation estimated at ~€200/sqm, effective cost is about €518/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €352/sqm in Piemonte townhouses. Strong photo set and independent panoramic setting help, but on numbers alone it is not a clear bargain and the rural borgata location limits upside.
More on the house and the area
The mountain-valley setting is the main draw: this is a real village house with open green views, a terrace and usable outdoor space. Crucially it looks habitable now, with kitchen, bathroom, floors and windows in place, but the house is plain and dated and the facade/upper balcony area suggests some modernization and maintenance are needed. At €42k for 132 sqm, the price adds strong appeal.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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 needs visible updating and some maintenance
- Interiors look basic/dated rather than charmingly restored
- Only one bathroom shown
- Extra land/parking may be separate or optional, not fully included
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 nearest substantial town is Avigliana, with lakes and a medieval centre; Turin is the main city for services and work. This part of the province is known for prealpine valley landscapes, chestnut woods, and access to hiking into the lower Alps.
