What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 100 sqm, the ask is €900/sqm; assuming habitable condition from the detailed description and 48 photos, a light renovation allowance of about €200/sqm gives an effective cost near €1,100/sqm. That is far above this catalog's Piemonte townhouse baseline of €353/sqm, so despite useful extras like parking, terrace and shared garden, it looks weak on price.
More on the house and the area
This has real alpine-living appeal: a broad snowy mountain outlook, lots of outdoor space around the house, balconies, and a usable terrace with barbecue. The home looks fully built, furnished and livable now, with kitchens, fireplaces and bathrooms implied by the layout, though the interiors are more functional and dated than truly beautiful. It feels like a genuine, affordable mountain home rather than a romantic showpiece.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Part of a four-family building, so outdoor space is shared rather than fully private.
- Interiors are practical but dated and quite cluttered/personal in style.
- Mountain setting means snow, winter access and maintenance are real considerations.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps immediately around it. The Stura di Viù valley runs through the area, and Usseglio sits further up the same valley. The Parco Naturale di Colle del Lys lies nearby on the ridge toward the lower valley. The nearest skiing is the small Pian Benot area above Usseglio, roughly half an hour to forty minutes by road depending on the hamlet. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of some size in the lower valleys, with rail access, shops and services. This part of the Lanzo valleys is known for alpine pasture, summer walking and small mountain villages rather than a major resort.
