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 €89,000 for 45 m², the effective cost is about €2,178/m² after a modest habitable-home allowance, versus a local reference of €356/m². The property has no potable-water connection and requires a 4x4-capable vehicle for the final 300 metres, while the listing’s room and bathroom details conflict with the supplied figures.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely peaceful mountain retreat with sweeping valley views, extensive green land, and a wonderfully secluded setting. The roofed, habitable two-level house appears usable rather than a renovation shell, but it is basic, compact, and the lack of mains water is a significant practical drawback.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- No direct connection to the drinking-water network; alternative supply or a new connection is needed.
- The final 300 metres are an unpaved road, with a higher-clearance or 4x4 vehicle recommended.
- The house is habitable but compact and visually basic, with no interior photos to verify finishes or bathroom condition.
- Large grounds and woodland will require ongoing maintenance.
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 sits in the lower Valle Bronda at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with the larger Monviso massif and the upper Po valley landscape close to the west. The Bronda stream runs through this small valley and joins the Po near Saluzzo. The area is within the buffer of the Monviso UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and the Parco del Monviso begins farther up the mountain valleys to the west. The nearest substantial town is Saluzzo, which has a preserved historic centre, a hilltop old town and the Marchesato castle complex. This part of the Saluzzo area is known for fruit growing, especially orchards on the plain and lower slopes.
