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
At €34,500 (€288/m²), the entry price is attractive, but the described unfinished interiors suggest roughly €500/m² of additional work, bringing the effective cost to about €788/m² versus a €356/m² local benchmark. The central location and private south-facing terrace help, but the listing does not state the overall condition or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable mountain townhouse with a working kitchen, three bedrooms, traditional parquet floors, and a leafy outdoor area full of mature fig trees. The mountain-and-historic-fortification outlook gives it real character, while the interiors and courtyard are dated and would benefit from refurbishment rather than being move-in polished.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €23,000
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 furnished and usable but visibly dated, with damp/staining and finishes needing updating.
- One bathroom for a 120 sqm, three-bedroom home may be limiting.
- The outdoor space is attractive but partly shared/courtyard-style rather than a fully private garden.
- Verify roof condition, utilities, and the status of the room described as needing finishing work.
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 72/100The cluster sits in the Val di Susa with the Graian Alps and the western Alpine chain closing the valley on both sides. The Dora Riparia runs along the valley floor. The lower Val di Susa has a continuous mountain backdrop, forested slopes and small villages set between the river corridor and the side valleys. The Sacra di San Michele stands on Mount Pirchiriano about 15 km away and is one of the main historic landmarks of the valley. Susa is the nearest larger town, with Roman remains, services and rail connections through the valley. The area is known for the old transalpine route toward the Mont Cenis and Fréjus passes and for fortified villages and abbeys along the valley. The nearest ski areas are in the upper Val di Susa, with lifts around Bardonecchia and the Via Lattea resorts reached by road in roughly 45 to 70 minutes.
