What it really costs

At €49,000 for 249 sqm, the asking price is just €197/sqm versus a €353/sqm local baseline, and even as a renovation project it offers strong value for a large townhouse. The description clearly says da ristrutturare, but it appears to be a real dwelling with 27 photos, residential context, terrace/garden/outbuildings, and a pleasant hillside setting.
More on the house and the area
The hillside setting and open green views give this house real dream value, and the old farmhouse massing, cellar and fireplace add some character. But it is not move-in ready: the interiors are basic and worn, with signs of damp/peeling and a lot of work needed to turn it into a comfortable home. At €49k for 249 sqm, it has strong potential rather than instant wow.
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€49,000 – €87,000
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.

- Needs full renovation/refresh throughout; interiors are tired and partly damaged.
- Outbuildings and covered structure look rough and may need structural attention.
- Only one bathroom shown and kitchen is basic/non-functional.
- Outdoor spaces are usable but unattractive as-is and need clearing/improvement.
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 58/100The cluster sits in the hills of the Basso Monferrato at the eastern edge of the province of Turin. The Po is the main river of the area and runs a few kilometres to the north below the hill belt. The nearest town of size is Chivasso, which has a station, shops and services. Turin is farther west and matters for commuting and higher-order services, but it is outside the immediate landscape. This part of the hills is known for mixed farmland, woods, small vineyards and scattered hamlets.
