What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a 220 m² rustic farmhouse at €99,000 (€450/m²), but the description says it needs renovation, with only the roof excepted, so I estimate a heavy restore at about €1,100/m². Baseline data is weak, so I rely more on absolute plausibility: the very large renovation burden makes the effective cost substantial, though the 760 m² buildable land and annex add some upside.
More on the house and the area
The mountain setting is genuinely atmospheric, with broad valley views and a handsome alpine stone-and-timber exterior. But this is still a serious renovation project rather than a ready home: the roof looks good, while the rest appears neglected and overgrown, with no interior proof of present livability. The buildable land adds appeal and value.
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€87,000 – €129,000
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.
- Needs major renovation; listing itself calls it a rustico to be restructured
- Only the roof appears redone; balconies/exterior elements look rough and partly makeshift
- Overgrown plot and steep roadside setting may mean difficult outdoor use/access
- Interior condition is not shown, so current livability is 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 sits in the central Aosta Valley with the Pennine Alps around it and steep valley sides rising directly from the Dora Baltea. The Dora Baltea runs through the valley floor here. Mont Avic Natural Park lies just to the south-east, with side valleys leading up toward Champorcher. The nearest ski lifts are in the Champorcher area, roughly 30–40 minutes by road, and larger lift systems are farther west in the main valley. The nearest larger town is Aosta, which has the full range of services and a major Roman historic centre. The valley around Montjovet is known for castles and fortified sites, including the Bard area farther down-valley, and for vineyard terraces on the sunnier slopes.
