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 €85,000 for 263 m², the asking price is €323/m² versus a local reference of €196/m²; allowing €200/m² for a habitable 1960 building brings the effective cost to about €523/m². The description claims several independent apartments and bedrooms, while the facts list only 5 rooms and 0 beds, so the layout and income potential should be verified.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable mountain property with exceptional panoramic views, huge stone-paved terraces, balconies, and a charming tavernetta with exposed beams, stonework, and a fireplace. The interiors are old-fashioned but complete, with functioning kitchens, bathrooms, heating, and solid floors—more of a refresh project than a renovation. At 263 sqm and €85,000, the space-to-price ratio is particularly compelling.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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 habitable but visibly dated and would benefit from modernization.
- The property is a multi-level, multi-unit building rather than a single cohesive family home.
- The large terraces overlook the road and utility wires, which slightly detracts from the setting.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps immediately around it. The Stura di Lanzo runs through the valley. The area is part of the Lanzo valleys mountain landscape below the higher Alpine side valleys toward Ala di Stura and Viù. The nearest ski facilities are the small lifts of Pian Benot above Usseglio, roughly 35–45 minutes by road, while the larger lifts of the upper Susa Valley are much farther and do not define the immediate setting. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of some size, with rail access toward Turin and everyday services. Turin is the nearest major city for higher-order services, about an hour away by road or rail from the lower valley. The area is known for Alpine valleys, hiking, second-home villages and summer access to mountain pastures and passes.
