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 €99,000, the raw price is attractive at €261/m² versus €356/m² locally, but a habitable-property allowance of about €200/m² puts the effective cost near €461/m². The building includes a former pizzeria and two apartments, making it potentially interesting for hospitality, though the listing does not say whether all spaces are currently approved as dwellings or provide an energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely characterful historic townhouse with striking vaulted ceilings, patterned tilework, period furniture, and a particularly atmospheric living room. It appears to be a real, habitable property rather than a renovation shell, with kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, heating, and multiple usable spaces already in place. The scale and €99,000 price are exceptional, though the mixed residential/commercial configuration makes it more compelling as a multi-unit home or hospitality project than as a simple single-family house.
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€25,000 – €43,000
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.
- The listing combines two dwellings with a former pizzeria/commercial space, so the layout and residential usability need verification.
- No exterior, garden, roof, or street photos are provided, despite the description mentioning a private garden.
- The property is habitable, but the interiors appear to range from beautifully renovated to more dated and basic.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Monregalese, where the last hills of southern Piemonte meet the first Ligurian Alps. The Ellero valley and other alpine valleys open south of Mondovì, and the main Maritime and Ligurian Alpine ridges are within this 15 km landscape. The nearest ski lifts are around Frabosa Soprana, Prato Nevoso and Artesina, roughly 15–25 minutes by road from Mondovì depending on the exact starting point. Mondovì itself is the main town nearby, with a substantial historic upper town, services, rail connection and a regional role for the surrounding valleys. The wider area is known for the transition from Langhe-style hills to alpine valleys and for access toward the mountain resorts of the Mondolè area.
