What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 103 sqm, the asking price is €670/sqm, already above the low-stock baseline of €414/sqm in Piemonte country houses. With the home described as in original condition (about €700/sqm renovation), the effective cost is roughly €1,370/sqm, so this looks only fair rather than a bargain despite the panoramic, year-round inhabited borgata.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a ruin: it has furnished rooms, a working-looking kitchen, bathroom, radiators and solid balconies. But the visual wow is limited, with plain exterior appeal and very dated interiors, so it feels more like a practical mountain village home needing refreshment than a dream-home scroll stopper.
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€20,000 – €36,000
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.
- Original-condition interiors feel very dated and need modernization
- Only one bathroom shown and the kitchen looks basic/old
- No panoramic view is actually proven in the photos
- Large rough lower-level/storage area is unfinished and not living space
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 is in the Val Germanasca in the Cottian Alps. The Germanasca river runs down the valley. The area is part of the Pinerolese mountain valleys, with steep wooded slopes, high side valleys and alpine ground above the villages. The nearest ski area is Prali, at the head of the valley, about a 20 minute drive from Perrero. Pinerolo is the nearest larger town, about 30 km away, with full services and rail links. This part of the valley is known for its Waldensian history and for the old talc mines around Prali.
