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 €70,000 for 135 sqm, the ask is €519/sqm; with a realistic needs-renovation budget of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,219/sqm, well above this low-stock baseline of €352/sqm. Still, the historic-center position, terrace, 16 photos, and the included commercial unit add concrete value and make it a solid mixed-use project rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This has modest old-house character: wood floors, period internal doors and a generous terrace in the historic center. But it is clearly a renovation project rather than an easy move-in home, with dated kitchen/bath areas, worn exteriors and ancillary spaces that feel rough. The value is strong for the size and central location, yet the wow is practical more than dreamy.
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€27,000 – €48,000
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.

- Shared courtyard reduces privacy
- Terrace is large but overlooks close neighbors/street rather than a scenic view
- Some exterior wear and service areas look makeshift/dated

The area around
Location score 48/100The cluster lies on the eastern side of the Turin hills, with low wooded ridges and cultivated slopes above the Po plain. The Po runs nearby to the south-west, and the area connects into the fluvial landscapes of the Parco del Po piemontese. Chivasso is the nearest larger town, and Turin is close enough to shape daily services, jobs and transport, but the immediate setting is peri-urban hill country rather than open mountain terrain. The area is known locally for hillside vineyards, woodland and the transition from the Turin conurbation to the Po and Monferrato side.
