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 €15,000 for 225 sqm the asking price is only €67/sqm, but the home is described as completely to be renovated, so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation, bringing effective cost to roughly €1,167/sqm. That is far above the €350/sqm baseline for Piemonte townhouses; the large size and flexibility into two units help, but as-is this is only a fair renovation project unless works can be done unusually cheaply.
More on the house and the area
The house has real presence: a large old Piemonte facade with long balconies, mature greenery and a peaceful woodland setting. But this is firmly a renovation project, not an easy live-in home—interiors are empty and worn, with visible moisture issues and very dated spaces. At €15k for 225 sqm it has strong bargain appeal, yet the condition keeps the wow in the project category rather than dream-home territory.
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€89,000 – €132,000
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.

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.
