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 €100,000 for 260 sqm, the ask is just €385/sqm, only slightly above your low-stock baseline of €353/sqm; but with a realistic renovation budget of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is ~€1,085/sqm. The score stays strong because this is a very large independent townhouse complex with garden, barn, garages and multiple units/accessories in a central yet quiet area, with good documentation (36 photos) and no legal-use red flags.
More on the house and the area
This has real dream-home appeal: a handsome historic courtyard house with balconies, tower-like volume, barn, pergola and a very pretty private garden. It is clearly a real house rather than a shell, but the current interiors are tired, cluttered and dated, so this is a substantial renovation project rather than move-in ready. The payoff is strong because the scale, character and outdoor spaces are unusually generous for the price.
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€51,000 – €91,000
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.

The area around
Location score 68/100The cluster lies at the foot of the western end of the Susa Valley, with the lower Alps close by and Monte Musinè dominating the immediate area. The Sangone valley and the wooded morainic hills between Rivoli, Avigliana and Giaveno shape the local landscape. The Laghi di Avigliana are within the area, with two natural lakes at the mouth of the valley. The Parco naturale dei Laghi di Avigliana is the main protected area nearby. The nearest ski lifts are up the Susa Valley around Sauze d’Oulx and Bardonecchia, well beyond the local 15 km landscape and reached by a substantial drive. Rivoli is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre and the Castello di Rivoli; the western edge of Turin is also close and provides the full services of a major city. The area is known for the transition from the Turin plain to the Alpine valleys, for the lakes of Avigliana, and for the Sacra di San Michele above the valley, just beyond the immediate radius.
