See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('in asta'), which is an automatic veto despite the low ask. The listing also contradicts the the listing condition: it is not renovated but an unfinished building site needing major works, with missing floors/fixtures and consolidation required, so I estimate about €1,100/m² renovation on top of the price.
More on the house and the area
The setting sounds pleasantly hilly and the courtyard/garden space is useful, but the gallery provides no real visual wow from exterior, interior, or views. More importantly, this is not a ready home but an unfinished rural building with missing floors, joinery, heating, and further consolidation needed. At the auction price it is cheap for the size, yet it reads as a serious project rather than a beautiful livable Italian dream home.
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€88,000 – €131,000
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.
- Currently a construction site / unfinished renovation
- No floors and external/internal windows and doors need replacement
- First floor needs structural consolidation
- No heating and missing technical/certification documents
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 73/100This is in the Roero hill country, with vineyard slopes and mixed farmed ridges on the left side of the Tanaro valley. The Tanaro runs nearby, and the Langhe hills begin just across the river. Alba is the nearest town of size, with a full service centre, a historic core and the main market town role for both Roero and Langhe. The area is known for wine, especially Roero and nearby Barbaresco zones, and for hazelnuts and truffle country centered on Alba.
