What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €22,000 purchase price looks low, but the listing explicitly calls for renovation and joining the two units: at roughly €700/m², the effective cost is about €932/m² versus a local reference of €356/m². The condition and renovation scope are not clearly stated, adding uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, roofed townhouse with usable rooms, terrazzo floors, two bathrooms, balconies, and attractive outdoor space rather than a bare shell. Its strongest feature is the dramatic Alpine mountain panorama, complemented by old stone construction and a leafy garden setting. At €22,000 it is an exceptional bargain, but it needs meaningful renovation before becoming a beautiful full-time home.
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€19,000 – €34,000
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.
- Substantial renovation and cosmetic updating are needed, especially the kitchen, bathrooms, walls, and exterior finishes.
- The property appears split into two independent units; reconfiguration and legal/permit checks may be needed to combine them.
- Outdoor areas are generous but dated, with aging coverings, paving, railings, and outbuildings to improve.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the Susa Valley with the Cottian Alps immediately around it. The Dora Riparia runs along the valley floor. The lower Val di Susa is known for a broad alpine valley landscape with villages, woods and slopes rising quickly from the plain. Susa is the nearest larger town and has rail services, shops and Roman remains. The Sacra di San Michele stands above the valley near Sant’Ambrogio, within the wider valley system but farther east than the immediate surroundings. The nearest ski areas are the lower Val di Susa resorts such as Bardonecchia and the Via Lattea sector, reached by a substantial drive up-valley rather than from the village itself. This part of the valley is known for mountain access routes between Turin and France.
