What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €15,000 for 80 sqm, the asking price is just €188/sqm versus a low-stock baseline median of €459/sqm in Piemonte country houses. With no clear evidence of renovation and a generic description, I assume a needs-renovation cost of about €700/sqm, bringing the effective cost to about €888/sqm: still plausible for a very cheap family-sized house, but not enough detail to rate it as a top-tier bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, usable village house rather than a romantic Italian dream property. The building looks structurally real and lived-in, with kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms in place, but the interiors are cramped, dated and only modestly appealing. At €15k the bargain is striking, yet the wow factor is low.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- Very dated interiors with low ceilings and basic finishes
- Ground-floor rooms feel dark and basement-like in places
- No proven views, garden or special setting in the photos
- Likely needs significant modernization to feel comfortable full-time
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 72/100The cluster is in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps immediately around it. The Stura di Lanzo runs through the valley. The area is part of the Lanzo valleys mountain landscape below the higher Alpine side valleys toward Ala di Stura and Viù. The nearest ski facilities are the small lifts of Pian Benot above Usseglio, roughly 35–45 minutes by road, while the larger lifts of the upper Susa Valley are much farther and do not define the immediate setting. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of some size, with rail access toward Turin and everyday services. Turin is the nearest major city for higher-order services, about an hour away by road or rail from the lower valley. The area is known for Alpine valleys, hiking, second-home villages and summer access to mountain pastures and passes.
