What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €68,000 for 157 sqm, the ask is €433/sqm; with likely habitable-but-dated condition from the 1990s renovation, I estimate about €200/sqm in updates, for an effective €633/sqm. That sits well above the local stock baseline of €353/sqm, so despite the large size, views and land, it looks more ordinary-to-weak value for a remote mountain townhouse rather than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
The wow here is the mountain setting: big valley views, slate-roofed alpine character and a lot of private land make it genuinely dreamy from the outside. Crucially, this is a real house rather than a shell, with kitchen, bathrooms and usable bedrooms, but the interiors are plain, dark and quite dated, so it feels livable now and much better after renovation. At €68k for 157 sqm with panoramic balconies and nearly 8,000 sqm of land, the value helps the appeal.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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 dated and need refreshing.
- Heating appears to rely on stoves/fireplace rather than a modern full system.
- Some outdoor areas and ancillary spaces look rough and basic.
- There is a pedestrian right of way in front of the house.
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 68/100Rueglio sits in the Valchiusella area at the edge of the Piedmont Alps, with wooded slopes and mid-mountain pasture above the Canavese plain. The Chiusella valley and stream are the main local natural feature. The nearest larger centre is Ivrea, which has a full set of services and a well-preserved historic core; Ivrea is on the UNESCO list for its twentieth-century Olivetti industrial city. This part of Canavese is known for chestnut woods, small stone villages and low Alpine walking country.
