What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €33,000 for 110 sqm, the asking price is about €300/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €413/sqm in Piemonte country houses. The description says "ottime condizioni interne" and "abitabile immediatamente", so I assume only light refresh costs (~€100/sqm), keeping the effective price around €400/sqm, which is still very competitive.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine Alpine-borgo charm: weathered timber balconies, stone-slab roofs and mountain greenery give it a very photogenic exterior. Inside it looks fully furnished and immediately usable, with a rustic fireplace, beams and kitchen already in place, but the low-ceilinged, dated interiors keep it below dream-home level. At €33k for 110 sqm, it has a strong bargain pull for someone who likes old mountain-house character.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€4,000 – €6,000
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 very dark and heavily wood-clad, so many buyers will want cosmetic updating.
- Access is via an external wooden stair/balcony, which may feel less convenient in winter.
- Only limited view photos are shown; the setting looks pleasant rather than truly spectacular.
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 71/100The cluster sits in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps around the valley and the upper valley rising toward peaks on the French border. The Stura di Lanzo runs through this part of the valley. Ceres is one of the main small centres of the Val Grande di Lanzo, with everyday services and the Torino–Ceres rail link toward the plain. The nearest larger town is Lanzo Torinese, and Turin is the main city for higher-order services. This area is known for alpine valley settlements, hiking and summer access into the Lanzo valleys.
