What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €6,500 for 149 sqm (€44/sqm), this is massively below the Piemonte townhouse baseline of €350/sqm. It clearly needs full restoration rather than light renovation, so I estimate about €1,100/sqm works; even so, the entry price is extremely low, with garage and two independent units adding flexibility, while the quiet hamlet setting keeps it just below the top band.
More on the house and the area
The stone exterior has real alpine-rustic character, and the wooded setting plus tiny price create some dream value. But this is not a ready home: only part of it looks basically usable, while several rooms are stripped, decayed, and need heavy renovation. It feels more like a cheap restoration project with charm than a beautiful house you could comfortably live in now.
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€59,000 – €87,000
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.

- Major renovation is needed across large parts of the property.
- Some rooms appear raw, damp, and only partially usable.

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 is in the Lanzo Valleys area at the edge of the Graian Alps. The Stura di Lanzo basin is the main river landscape nearby, with wooded slopes, side valleys and pre-alpine ridges around the settled floor. The nearest ski lifts are in the Lanzo valleys above Ceres and Ala di Stura, roughly 45-60 minutes by road depending on the lift and season. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of some size, with rail access toward Turin and the usual services; Turin is the main city for higher-order services and work. This part of the province is known for mountain pasture country, chestnut woods and the traditional valleys leading up toward the French border.
