What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 for 174 sqm, the asking price is €563/sqm, but the description suggests a multi-level older house with cellar/deposito spaces and no clear condition, so I assume a renovation budget around €700/sqm, bringing the effective cost to about €1,263/sqm. The local baseline (€448/sqm) is very weak here, so I rely mostly on plausibility: the large size and land help, but missing condition/energy data and only 5 photos keep it from scoring as a strong deal.
More on the house and the area
The mountain setting and bits of old stone character give it some Alpine charm, and the attached land is a real plus. But the house looks quite worn externally and the overgrown outdoor space suggests a property that needs real updating rather than a ready dream home. It feels like a solid, potentially livable house with work to do, not a wow move-in beauty.
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€34,000 – €61,000
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 looks tired and likely needs significant renovation.
- Only one bathroom for a large 174 sqm, 6-bed layout.
- Garden/yard appears overgrown and not currently usable.
- No interior photos, so finish level and live-in readiness are uncertain.
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.
