See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €647/m², or roughly €847/m² after allowing for modest works, this is far above the €196/m² level for comparable homes in the area. The description suggests a sizeable three-bedroom house with garden and cellar, but it does not state the condition, and the supplied room count conflicts with the text.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial independent home with a genuinely impressive open valley view, including the long historic-looking viaduct, greenery and distant hills. The house is roofed, floored and clearly a real multi-room home, but it is dated and needs meaningful cosmetic work plus a new kitchen rather than being immediately move-in ready.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €16,000
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 kitchen is stripped back and needs fitting out or renovation.
- Walls and finishes show visible wear and would benefit from repainting and refreshing.
- The images do not clearly show the bathrooms or confirm utility and heating condition.
- The hillside setting and nearby road infrastructure may mean some traffic or access considerations.
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.
