What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is for two 1800s stone baite at about 1000 m altitude with 70,000 sqm of land; this reads more like alpine huts/outbuildings than a clearly lawful dwelling, so legal habitability is doubtful. Even before land value, a full restore estimate of about €1,100/m² puts effective cost near €1,332/m² (€232 + €1,100), far above the weak local baseline of €330/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a very romantic alpine stone hamlet: old losa roofs, timber balcony, chestnut trees and genuinely dramatic mountain views. Crucially, it is not just a shell—there is a usable kitchen, bathroom and enclosed rooms—but the living standard looks simple and rustic, with likely further upgrading needed. The beauty and land are major dream factors, yet the home feels more habitable retreat than polished turnkey house.
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€111,000 – €164,000
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 look basic and dated rather than truly move-in comfortable.
- Some parts appear rustic/outbuilding-like, so not all 280 sqm may be ready living space.
- Mountain setting at about 1,000 m altitude may mean difficult winter access and harsher climate.
- Large land is sloping/wooded in parts and will need maintenance.
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 lower Lys Valley under the Monte Rosa side valleys, with steep alpine slopes and chestnut woods around the settlements. The Lys river runs through the valley floor. Much of the surrounding mountain area falls within the Mont Avic Natural Park on the Aosta side. The nearest ski lifts are in the Gressoney valley, roughly 25–40 minutes by road depending on the base station. The nearest town of size is Pont-Saint-Martin, with rail access, shops and daily services; Ivrea is farther south for a larger centre. This part of the valley is known for Walser-influenced alpine villages farther up the Lys valley and for stone hamlets on the slopes.
