What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
It is currently registered as a collabente F2 unit, so it is not a habitable dwelling in its present legal/state condition. Even before works, the shell price is €43/m² versus a €262/m² baseline, but a full restoration at about €1,100/m² makes the effective cost roughly €1,143/m², so this is only for buyers willing to take on a ruin-level project.
More on the house and the area
The stone rustic has real alpine charm, a lovely little courtyard and strong mountain-valley views. But this is not a usable home today: the interiors are bare storage-like spaces and the building is effectively a renovation project rather than move-in property. The beauty is genuine, yet condition keeps it firmly in project territory.
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€55,000 – €82,000
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.
- Collabente F2 cadastral status suggests a non-habitable building.
- Raw empty interiors with no visible finished kitchen or bathroom.
- Major renovation likely needed, including structural/roof assessment.
- Mountain hamlet setting may mean access and utility upgrades are needed.
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.
