In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 for 80 m², the effective cost is about €1,425/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable home, far above comparable local stock around €315/m². The fenced garden, garage, heating and open view add appeal, but the price is difficult to justify for a remote second-home location.
More on the house and the area
A charming, well-kept detached villa with a generous enclosed garden, mature trees, balcony, garage, and an open green outlook. The house is genuinely habitable, with a functioning kitchen, heating, furnished living spaces, and a comfortable layout, though the interiors feel old-fashioned rather than design-led.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 usable but visibly dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The large garden is currently very dry and will require ongoing maintenance.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed, and energy performance information is unavailable.
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 61/100The cluster is in the Apennine hills of the Alto Monferrato, with wooded ridges and small valleys between the Bormida systems. The Erro valley is part of the local landscape, and Acqui Terme is the nearest town of size with services and a Roman thermal tradition. Sassello, on the Ligurian side, is within the surrounding hill area and is known as one of the early centres of amaretti production. This is inland hill country on the Piemonte-Liguria watershed rather than a coast setting.
