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 €98,000 for 260 sqm, the ask is €377/sqm, but with a typical renovation estimate of ~€700/sqm the effective cost is about €1,077/sqm, far above the local sub-€100k baseline of €318/sqm. Large size, 31 photos, garages and 5,000 sqm of land are positives, but the text clearly says 'da rinnovare' and part of the ground floor is storage/garage space rather than full living area.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a project: large, roofed, furnished, with bathrooms, balconies, garage space and plenty of outdoor area. The best wow comes from the green Monferrato-style outlook and 5,000 sqm of land, but the villa itself is plain and dated, with a very visible pylon hurting the dream factor. At the price, the size and livability do create some bargain appeal.
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.

- 1970s villa with dated interiors; needs clear modernization
- High-voltage power line is very prominent over the property
- Setting is roadside, so it is not fully secluded
- Beauty is more in the green outlook and land than in the architecture
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 66/100This is the Alto Monferrato hill country, with vine-covered ridges, small woods and mixed farmland around the Belbo valley. Nizza Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with services and a substantial historic centre, and Asti is the larger city used for higher-order services and rail connections. The wider area is known for Monferrato wines, especially Barbera, and for a landscape of vineyards and hilltop villages; parts of the Monferrato wine landscape in the province are included in the UNESCO vineyard landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, though not every nearby comune falls inside the core site.
