What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €20,000 for 110 sqm, the asking price is only €182/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €353/sqm in Piemonte townhouses, a strong discount. But the description suggests a basic/dated house with external bathroom and attic spaces to convert, so I estimate ~€700/sqm renovation; that makes the effective cost about €882/sqm, which is no longer ultra-cheap but still reasonable for a livable renovation project.
More on the house and the area
The mountain-borgata setting and decent garden give it a pleasant rural feel, especially for €20k. But the house itself looks quite tired externally, with no proven interior charm, and the external bathroom makes it feel more basic than dreamy. It seems like a usable old house with real compromises rather than a true scroll-stopper.
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€22,000 – €39,000
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.
- Exterior shows peeling render and deferred maintenance
- Bathroom is external, reducing comfort and livability
- Upper level appears attic/storage space rather than finished living area
- Only limited photos; interior character and actual condition are unproven
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 74/100The cluster is in the upper Germanasca valley of the Cottian Alps. The Germanasca stream runs through the valley. This is part of the Pinerolese mountain area with larch woods, high pastures and small alpine hamlets, and the road continues up-valley toward the Prali ski area; the nearest lifts are around Prali, roughly 15 km away by road. Within the same valley are the Waldensian settlements for which this part of the western Turin Alps is known. The nearest larger town with substantial services is Pinerolo, down in the plain.
