What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 100 sqm, the asking price is €950/sqm; with a typical renovation budget of about €700/sqm for 'da rinnovare', the effective cost is about €1,650/sqm. That is far above the very low baseline of €350/sqm for Piemonte townhouses in this catalog, so despite the historic features and panoramic terrace, the deal looks weak at this price.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine old-Piedmont charm: a big enclosed courtyard, long balconies, a huge terrace and an open rural panorama. It looks structurally like a real house rather than a ruin, but the visible exterior spaces are worn and the dream factor depends heavily on the unseen interiors. Attractive and full of potential, but more renovation project than instant fantasy home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €35,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs real renovation before it feels like a dream home
- Interiors are not shown, so the best historic features are unproven in photos
- Courtyard/outbuildings look tired and a bit agricultural rather than polished
- Large multi-building layout may mean higher maintenance and complexity
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 68/100The area is in the Canavese, with the morainic hills left by the ancient glacier of the Dora Baltea and the first Alpine reliefs visible to the north. The Dora Baltea runs nearby, and the Ivrea morainic amphitheatre lies within the local landscape. Castello di Masino is in Caravino itself on the ridge above the plain. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with services, a historic centre and UNESCO recognition for the 20th-century industrial city of Olivetti. The area is known for mixed farmland, vineyards on the morainic slopes, and the transition from the Po plain to the Aosta valley corridor.
