Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €125/m² asking price is far below the €356/m² local reference, and the central location, two apartments, garage and outdoor spaces are attractive. However, the condition is not stated and the advertised 200 m² does not fully reconcile with the two 80 m² apartments plus 16 m² warehouse; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to about €825/m².
More on the house and the area
A remarkably large, genuinely habitable village townhouse for €25,000, with two apartments, a garage/portico, balconies, traditional stonework and one especially characterful painted ceiling. The interiors are old-fashioned rather than beautiful, but the house offers real living space and strong value in a historic Piemonte setting.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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 very dated and would benefit from substantial cosmetic refurbishment.
- The house is tightly packed into a narrow historic village lane, with limited privacy and no evident scenic view.
- Roof and upper-level terrace areas appear aged and should be checked carefully.
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 cluster lies in the Bormida valley in the hills between the Langhe and Monferrato systems, with vineyard and woodland slopes around the river plain. The Bormida river runs through the area. Acqui Terme is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and thermal baths. This part of southern Piemonte is known for wine landscapes and mixed vine-covered hills, but the strongest named wine zones are outside the immediate 15 km radius.
