What it really costs

The description is for agricultural land of 4,600 sqm with a 20 sqm wooden hut for leisure/agricultural use, not a clear legal dwelling. At €35,000 for just 20 sqm shown (€1,750/sqm vs €263/sqm baseline), this is not a livable house purchase for the catalog.
More on the house and the area
This looks more like a small recreational plot in the hills than an actually livable Italian home. The land could be pleasant for gardening or weekends, but the 20 sqm hut offers very limited usability and no proven residential comfort.
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€1,000 – €2,000
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.
- This is essentially a leisure plot with a tiny wooden hut, not a proper home.
- No bathroom or bedroom is shown, so full-time livability is very doubtful.
- Only plan/map images are provided, with no real photos proving views or charm.
- Any future agricultural or hospitality use would depend on permits.
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 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.
