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 €69,000 for 205 sqm, the ask is €337/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is ~€537/sqm versus a €350/sqm baseline, so it is not cheap on a like-for-like basis but remains plausible for a large 2-unit house with garage, terraces and heating. Strong data quality (45 photos, detailed description) supports the listing, though the narrow access and remote inland location limit upside.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, genuine village house with attractive tiled roofs and an authentic hillside-borgo setting. It looks structurally usable and already habitable, with kitchens, bathrooms and finished floors, but the interiors are plain and old-fashioned rather than beautiful. Good value for the size, yet the wow comes more from practicality and setting than from dream-home 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 – €23,000
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.
- Interiors are very dated and need cosmetic updating.
- Some lower-level rooms show staining/damp risk.
- No real view is proved by the photos.
- Access is narrow and unsuitable for large cars.
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 68/100This area sits in the Canavese hills at the edge of the Alpine foreland, with the Graian Alps visible to the north and west. The Dora Baltea valley is nearby, and Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with services, a rail station and a substantial historic center. The Serra d'Ivrea, the long morainic ridge left by the ancient Balteo glacier, is one of the main landscape features of this part of Piemonte and lies within the surrounding area. The zone is known for wooded hills, small villages, vineyards and moraine landscapes rather than for a single monument or resort.
