What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €96,000 for 180 m², the asking price is €533/m², already well above the €315/m² local comparison level; allowing roughly €36,000 for habitable-property updates raises the effective cost to about €733/m². Two independent units, garage, garden and terraces add useful value, but the remote location does not justify this premium.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable 180 sqm mountain home with two independent units, terraces, and a generous private garden. The dramatic Alpine setting and outdoor space create the main dream factor, while the interiors are solid but old-fashioned rather than beautifully renovated. At €96,000, the size and two-unit layout make it an unusually strong value if the structure and systems check out.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Interiors are fully furnished and usable but distinctly dated, with likely cosmetic updating needed.
- The large garden appears somewhat overgrown and will require regular maintenance.
- External stairs, balconies, roof coverings, and drainage should be checked carefully before purchase.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Val di Susa with the Cottian Alps immediately around it. The Dora Riparia runs along the valley floor below Meana. The Gran Bosco di Salbertrand Regional Park is within this part of the valley to the west. The nearest ski area is at Sauze d’Oulx in the Via Lattea domain, roughly 35–45 minutes by road depending on the access point. Susa is the nearest town of size and has rail services, shops and major Roman remains including the Arch of Augustus and the amphitheatre. The valley is one of the historic Alpine routes between Turin and France and is known for forts and abbeys, including the Sacra di San Michele farther east in the valley.
