What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €48,000 for 100 sqm, the asking price is €480/sqm; the text says it is to be customized, so I estimate about €700/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,180/sqm. That is far above this catalog's Piemonte farmhouse baseline of €263/sqm, though the central yet quiet location and complete dwelling layout with 20 photos support it as a real house rather than a red-flag listing.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, real house rather than a ruin: it has floors, bathrooms, windows and usable rooms across multiple levels. But the photos show little inherent beauty or character, and several spaces feel tired, damp-marked and in need of substantial updating before it becomes appealing to live in. At €48k for 100 sqm, the price is the main wow.
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.
- Needs significant cosmetic renovation and clearing out
- Covered terrace/porch shows wear and likely moisture damage
- Interiors are plain with visible cracking and dated finishes
- Attic/upper spaces may need more work to be fully 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 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.
