Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €43,000 (€192/m²), the asking price is 52% below the local €397/m² benchmark, with substantial space, garden and garage. However, the listing does not state the condition or energy performance; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to about €892/m², making this a potentially worthwhile but uncertain project.
More on the house and the area
A substantial traditional village house with attractive green shutters, a working-looking fireplace, generous rooms, private garden space, garage, and useful outbuildings. It is clearly a real, furnished home rather than a shell, but the worn exterior and heavily dated interiors keep it below dream-home level.
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€44,000 – €79,000
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.
- The interiors are clearly dated and would benefit from substantial cosmetic updating.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large six-bedroom house.
- The exterior plaster, courtyard, and outbuildings need maintenance; utilities and structural condition are not verified.
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 70/100The cluster sits in the Monferrato hills, in a landscape of vine-covered ridges and small valleys. The Belbo and Bormida valleys are the main river valleys in this part of southern Asti and western Alessandria. This is wine country known for Barbera d'Asti, Moscato and other Monferrato and Langhe-Roero-Monferrato denominations. Nizza Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with everyday services and a substantial historic centre. Canelli is also close, known for wine cellars and sparkling-wine production. Parts of the wine landscape around here are included in the UNESCO vineyard landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, with the core zones centred on nearby vine hills rather than on every surrounding village.
