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 €69,000 for 315 m², the headline price is only €219/m², but substantial renovation at roughly €700/m² puts the effective cost near €919/m² versus about €356/m² for comparable homes. The historic Langhe location, private courtyard and garage add appeal, but the scale of works makes this weak value.
More on the house and the area
A large historic Langhe townhouse with attractive old balconies, arched openings, exposed timber roofing, and a private internal courtyard. It is a genuine house with floors, bathrooms, heating, and usable rooms, but the dated systems and visible deterioration make this a substantial renovation rather than a move-in home.
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€62,000 – €111,000
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.

- Substantial renovation is needed, including peeling finishes, damp-looking courtyard surfaces, and dated interiors.
- The roof and upper covered areas should be professionally inspected; some timber and roofing elements appear weathered.
- No attractive landscape or long-distance view is shown; the property is in a dense historic-center lane.

The area around
Location score 77/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills, with vine-covered ridges, wooded folds and scattered farmhouses within the immediate landscape. The Tanaro valley is nearby to the north, and the Ligurian Alps are visible on clear days from higher ground in this part of southern Piemonte. This is wine country: Dogliani gives its name to a DOCG red, and the surrounding hills are part of the wider Langhe viticultural landscape. Barolo and Monforte d'Alba are within roughly 15 km, and the area around them is known for vineyards, wine villages and cellar towns. The Langhe-Roero and Monferrato UNESCO World Heritage vineyard landscape includes nearby zones in this part of the hills. Alba is the nearest larger town, with services, rail links and the white truffle market for which the wider area is known.
