What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description says the building was used as a hayloft (fienile), which is a strong legal/usability red flag for a dwelling and triggers a veto despite the low asking price. At €6,000 for 50 sqm (€120/sqm) it looks cheap versus the €262/sqm baseline, but if it is not legally habitable that discount is not meaningful.
More on the house and the area
The wooded hillside setting is peaceful and sunny, with private land and a rustic alpine feel. But the building shown is essentially a bare former hayloft/barn with raw, open interiors and serious work needed before anyone could realistically live there. At €6,000 it has project appeal, not dream-home usability yet.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €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.
- Former hayloft/barn, not a finished home
- Major structural renovation needed before habitation
- No visible fitted kitchen, bathroom, or completed interiors
- Overgrown rural setting may mean access/utilities work
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 70/100The cluster is in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps around it and side valleys rising quickly above the valley floor. The Stura di Viù runs through the valley. Colle del Lys is nearby and marks the ridge toward the Susa side. The nearest ski area is the small Pian Benot lift area above Usseglio, roughly 30–40 minutes by road from Viù. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of some size in the lower valleys, with rail access toward Turin and the main everyday services; Turin is the main city for hospitals, universities and a full range of shops and work. This part of the valleys is known for alpine pasture, second-home villages and summer walking routes.
