Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ("asta immobiliare", "vendita concorsuale"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. The text also contradicts the facts: it is not a 114 sqm habitable villa but a 256 sqm rustic portion with land, and it explicitly mentions partial roof collapse/infiltration, implying heavy restoration around €1,100/m².
More on the house and the area
This has some real rustic charm inside, with brick vaulted ceilings, arches and a fireplace, and the price for the size is very attractive. It is a genuinely habitable house at ground level rather than a shell, but the wow is held back by the plain exterior and the clearly problematic upper barn/roof area. Dreamable as a budget country home, though it needs meaningful repair work before it feels secure and complete.
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€45,000 – €67,000
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.
- Partial roof collapse and water infiltration are explicitly reported.
- Upper ex-barn area is unfinished/open and not fully usable as living space.
- Auction sale: property sold as-is, with due diligence needed.
- Land boundaries need verification.
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 72/100This is in the vine-covered hills between Asti and the Belbo valley, in the transition between Monferrato and the Langhe. The Tanaro river valley lies nearby to the south-west. Nizza Monferrato is the nearest town of some size, with everyday services and a substantial historic centre; Asti is the larger city in the wider area. The landscape around Montegrosso d'Asti is known for vineyards and wine production, including the Barbera area around Nizza. Parts of the wider Monferrato vineyard landscape have UNESCO World Heritage status, and this area sits within that wine-country setting.
