What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 360 sqm, the asking price is just €181/sqm; with a typical renovation allowance of ~€700/sqm for a house explicitly described as 'da ristrutturare', effective cost is about €881/sqm. That is above this stock’s low Piemonte townhouse baseline of €353/sqm, but the huge size, independent layout, private courtyard, panoramic setting and included buildable land make it a strong value-add renovation project rather than a cheap ready home.
More on the house and the area
This has real romantic appeal: a large historic courtyard house with arched loggia, brick façade, old fireplaces and timber ceilings, plus a private garden and mountain-village setting. But the current condition is clearly renovation-grade, with bare rooms and worn exterior fabric, so the wow comes from character and potential rather than immediate livability. At €65k for 360 sqm, the scale and architecture create a strong bargain dream if you are ready for a serious project.
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€71,000 – €126,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 77/100The Biellese Prealps rise immediately north of Biella, with Monte Mucrone and the Oropa basin within about 10 km. The Oropa stream valley runs into the town, and the area sits between the first Alpine slopes and the edge of the rice plain toward Vercelli. The Sacro Monte di Oropa and the Sanctuary of Oropa, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are within this radius above the town. The nearest ski area is Oropa, with small lifts about 15 minutes' drive from Biella. Biella itself is the main town of the area, with a historic upper town at Biella Piazzo and the services of a provincial capital. The area is known for the wool textile industry and for the Oropa pilgrimage route.
