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 €83,000, the advertised €31/m² is misleading because roughly 2,600 of the 2,713 m² is land; the actual house area is not stated, preventing a like-for-like comparison with the €315/m² local benchmark. The property is described as habitable, structurally sound and reachable year-round, with garage, terrace and extensive land, making the price attractive but requiring verification of the dwelling’s true size and condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable mountain home with exceptional valley and alpine views, a balcony, garage, and roughly 2,600 sqm of surrounding land. The interiors are spacious, furnished, and structurally sound, with attractive parquet floors and traditional details, though the kitchen and bathroom need cosmetic modernization. The combination of dramatic scenery, privacy, and substantial land at €83,000 gives it strong dream-home appeal.
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€179,000 – €303,000
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 habitable but distinctly dated, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
- Heating relies on an oil boiler and wood stove; running costs should be checked.
- The property appears rural and fairly isolated, despite paved year-round access.
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 78/100The cluster sits in the upper Po valley at the foot of Monviso, with the Cottian Alps closing the western horizon. The Po rises above Paesana on the slopes below Monviso, and Crissolo with the source area is within the local mountain basin. The Monviso area is protected by the Parco del Monviso and connects to the cross-border Monviso biosphere area. The nearest ski lifts are the small facilities around Crissolo on the Monviso side, roughly 15 minutes by road from Paesana. Saluzzo is the nearest larger town, about half an hour away, with a substantial historic centre and everyday services. The area is known for mountain pasture landscapes, stone hamlets in the valley side villages, and fruit growing on the lower valley floor, especially the local chestnut and apple zone around Paesana.
