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 €99,000 for 150 sqm, the ask is about €660/sqm, but in 'needs renovation' condition a realistic works budget is roughly €700/sqm, bringing the effective cost to about €1,360/sqm. That is far above your low-stock baseline of €318/sqm for Piemonte villas, though the near-center position, panoramic view, garage and private garden support some value.
More on the house and the area
The panoramic Langhe-style hill view, vine-draped facade and old fireplace give this house real romantic appeal. It is not a ruin: the structure looks roofed and substantial, with usable volume, balcony, garage and garden, but the interiors need a serious renovation to become a comfortable home. This feels like a characterful project with genuine lifestyle potential rather than an immediate dream move-in.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.

The area around
Location score 82/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills, with vineyard slopes and ridgelines immediately around it. The Tanaro valley lies nearby, and the Alps are visible to the west on clear days but are not within the immediate 15 km landscape. Barolo is a few kilometres away, and Alba is the nearest larger town in the wider area, with rail links, services and a substantial historic centre. This part of the Langhe is covered by the UNESCO World Heritage site Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato. The area is known for Barolo wine, vine-growing and food tourism linked to wine estates and local gastronomy.
