At €70,000 (€424/m²), the estimated all-in cost is about €121,000, or €733/m² after allowing €500/m² for updates; this is well above the local €315/m² benchmark. The listing mentions one newly refurbished bathroom but does not state the overall condition, systems, or renovation needs.
More on the house and the area
This is a surprisingly substantial, fully furnished 165 sqm home with a spectacular mountain-valley panorama from its bright enclosed veranda. The bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, heating, and living areas appear functional, making it a real move-in home rather than a renovation shell, though a future buyer may want to modernize the dated finishes and furnishings. At €70,000, the space and view create a strong bargain effect.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €32,000
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.
- Interiors are very dated, especially the wood paneling, furnishings, kitchen, and window systems.
- The home appears maintained and usable, but the actual roof, insulation, and heating condition are not shown.
- No exterior or garden photos are provided, so the villa’s outside appeal is hard to assess.
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 71/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Alps, on the upper slopes above the Corsaglia valley. The Corsaglia stream runs through this part of the Monregalese hills and valleys. The area is close to the Marguareis massif and the Parco Naturale del Marguareis lies nearby to the south-west. The ski lifts of San Giacomo di Roburent are in the comune, and the lifts at Prato Nevoso and Artesina are also nearby, with drives of roughly 20–30 minutes depending on the hamlet. Mondovì is the nearest town of size, with a larger historic centre, services and rail connections. This part of the province is known for mountain pastures, chestnut woods and small ski stations.
