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
Price is €64,000 for 155 sqm (€413/sqm); with modest improvement works implied by 'habitable', 'roof is fine' and 'needs improvements', I estimate about €250/sqm renovation, for an effective €663/sqm. That is still well above this low internal baseline of €263/sqm, but the house is a structurally sound detached home in the town center with courtyard, garage and 18 photos, which supports a solid but not exceptional score.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable village house with a solid roof, big enclosed courtyard, garage and some rustic farmhouse appeal from the brick walls and long balcony. The interiors are simple, old-fashioned and a bit gloomy, but they look intact and livable rather than derelict. Good value for the size, though the wow is more practical charm than dream-home beauty.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€13,000 – €21,000
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 habitable but dated and need clear modernization.
- Courtyard/outbuildings are practical rather than beautiful.
- No meaningful view shown in the photos.
- Likely cosmetic and systems upgrades needed despite roof being reported sound.
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 43/100The cluster lies on the flat plain between Saluzzo and the Po, in the agricultural belt at the foot of the Cottian Alps. The Po runs nearby, with a network of irrigation channels and fields across the plain. Saluzzo is the nearest substantial town, with a preserved historic centre and services. The Monviso massif dominates the wider western skyline but it is beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of the province is known for farming and fruit production.
