See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000, the estimated renovation budget brings the effective cost to about €1,347/m², far above the €196/m² level typical for comparable low-cost homes in the area. The independent layout, garage/yard, views and proximity to Cuneo add appeal, but the renovation burden is too high for this price.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, solid house with a remarkable open view toward the long historic-looking viaduct, plus a private garden/vegetable area and covered parking. The interiors are spacious, roofed, floored, heated and clearly usable, but dated and partly stripped, so it is a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready dream 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€27,000 – €49,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Substantial renovation and cosmetic work are needed, especially the stripped-out kitchen and marked walls.
- Only one bathroom is listed for the five-room, two-level house.
- The property sits beside a visibly busy road, which may mean traffic noise and reduced privacy.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Cuneo, at the meeting of the Stura di Demonte and Gesso valleys, with the Maritime Alps close to the west and south. The Parco fluviale Gesso e Stura runs along the rivers at the edge of the city. The nearest major mountain area is Limone Piemonte and the Colle di Tenda corridor, with ski lifts roughly 30–40 km away by road. Cuneo itself is a provincial capital with a long arcaded centre, services, rail links and a regional market role. This part of the province is known for the approaches to the Maritime Alps and for agriculture on the plain south of the Po basin.
