See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €29,000, this habitable 50 m² townhouse has an estimated effective cost of about €780/m² after light renewal, well above the local €356/m² reference. The low total price, balcony, year-round access and proximity to Pian Munè support the purchase, but the price is not a strong bargain for the area.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable two-bedroom mountain home in a characterful Piemonte borgata, with a clear forested mountain view from the balcony and a very appealing €29,000 price. The interiors are functional rather than beautiful, but include a working kitchen area, bathroom, floors, heating, and usable bedrooms; expect cosmetic refreshing and some maintenance rather than a full reconstruction.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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 dated and cluttered, with visible wall wear and signs of damp or repainting needed.
- The exterior roofs, shutters, balconies, and drainage look aged and may require maintenance.
- No energy rating is provided; confirm heating, utilities, and any shared-courtyard arrangements.
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 78/100The cluster sits in the upper Po valley at the foot of Monviso, with the Cottian Alps closing the western horizon. The Po rises above Paesana on the slopes below Monviso, and Crissolo with the source area is within the local mountain basin. The Monviso area is protected by the Parco del Monviso and connects to the cross-border Monviso biosphere area. The nearest ski lifts are the small facilities around Crissolo on the Monviso side, roughly 15 minutes by road from Paesana. Saluzzo is the nearest larger town, about half an hour away, with a substantial historic centre and everyday services. The area is known for mountain pasture landscapes, stone hamlets in the valley side villages, and fruit growing on the lower valley floor, especially the local chestnut and apple zone around Paesana.
