What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 150 sqm, the asking price is €500/sqm; assuming habitable condition from the description, the effective cost is about €700/sqm including light updates. That is above this low internal baseline of €353/sqm for Piemonte townhouses, but the independent house, panoramic hill setting, garden/terrace and 27 photos support it as a solid rather than exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable country home with a lovely green hillside setting, balconies and a genuinely attractive rustic ground floor with brick vaults, terracotta floors and character details. The upper floor is much plainer and dated, but the house appears solid, roofed and habitable rather than a project shell. At €75k for 150 sqm with garden and view, it has strong dream-home appeal for the price.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Upper floor feels dated and needs cosmetic updating
- Only one bathroom shown
- Some rooms are partly empty/stored, so final finish may need 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 61/100San Damiano d'Asti sits in the Roero hill country, with cultivated ridges and small valleys between the Tanaro plain and the Langhe. The Tanaro river corridor lies nearby to the west. Asti is the nearest larger town, with rail connections, services and a substantial historic centre. Alba is also close enough for regular use and is the main town of the wine area south of the Tanaro. This part of Piemonte is known for vineyards, hazelnuts and wine production.
