What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Priced at €519/m² for 135 m², but the description says da ristrutturare, so I estimate about €700/m² renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,219/m². That is far above this catalog’s Piemonte townhouse baseline of €353/m², though the historic-center position, terrace, and 30 photos are positives.
More on the house and the area
There is some old-town character here, with shutters, wood floors and a big terrace that could become appealing after renovation. But the house is visibly tired and only partly functional: interiors are basic, the kitchen is stripped, and several ancillary spaces feel rough and semi-derelict. At this price and size it has bargain potential, yet today it reads more as a solid project than a ready dream home.
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€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- Clearly needs significant renovation before comfortable living
- Shared courtyard/access reduces privacy
- Only modest town-center outlook, no real scenic view
- Ground-floor commercial/storage areas look rough and may need major work
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 48/100The cluster lies on the eastern side of the Turin hills, with low wooded ridges and cultivated slopes above the Po plain. The Po runs nearby to the south-west, and the area connects into the fluvial landscapes of the Parco del Po piemontese. Chivasso is the nearest larger town, and Turin is close enough to shape daily services, jobs and transport, but the immediate setting is peri-urban hill country rather than open mountain terrain. The area is known locally for hillside vineyards, woodland and the transition from the Turin conurbation to the Po and Monferrato side.
