What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is a category F/2 unit and the description says it needs numerous renovation works, which strongly indicates a ruin-level project rather than a livable house. Even before considering the 18,000 sqm land, the effective cost is about €1,380/m² (€42,000 + ~€165,000 works over 150 sqm), far above the €414/m² baseline.
More on the house and the area
The stone house is genuinely romantic outside, with mountain views, a lovely natural setting and lots of land. But the condition is project-level rather than move-in: interiors are rough, incomplete and not truly livable yet. Big dream appeal for the setting, but it is still a serious renovation, not an easy home.
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€59,000 – €88,000
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.
- Category F/2 suggests it is not currently a habitable dwelling.
- Needs major renovation despite the intact stone structure and roof.
- Interiors are very rough/incomplete with limited usable finishes.
- Mountain setting may mean more isolated access and utility checks.
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.
