Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 (€792/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €992/m² after allowing €200/m² for unspecified works, well above the local €538/m² benchmark. The large terrace, garden and parking add appeal, but the listing does not say whether the property is habitable or needs renovation.
More on the house and the area
A solid, clearly livable townhouse with a warm traditional interior, working fireplace, generous kitchen, private garden, and an unusually large 110 sqm terrace. It is more comfortable countryside living than postcard Italian beauty, but the space, greenery, and €95,000 price make it a compelling real-home opportunity.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 fully usable but quite dated and heavily furnished, likely needing cosmetic modernization.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a six-bedroom, 120 sqm home.
- The setting is green and private, but the photos do not prove a spectacular sea, mountain, or valley view.
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 58/100The area sits in the upper Bormida valley on the Ligurian Apennines, with wooded ridges and a river corridor shaped by the Bormida di Millesimo. The Langhe hills begin nearby on the Piedmont side, and the landscape around the village is a mix of valley floor, chestnut and mixed woodland, and small cultivated slopes. Millesimo, a short drive away, has a preserved historic centre and is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. Cairo Montenotte is the nearest larger town, with the main services and rail connections for this part of the valley. The wider area is known for woodland, upper-valley villages and the transition between inland Liguria and southern Piedmont.
