See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 (€492/m²), the estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,192/m², far above the €356/m² local benchmark. The historic character, garage and garden are positives, but the mountain hamlet location, absent heating and substantial work needed weaken the value.
More on the house and the area
A highly characterful 19th-century Piedmont mountain townhouse with ornate Art Deco floral ceilings, original wood floors, shutters and layered balconies. It is a real, substantial home rather than a shell, with intact rooms and a beautiful leafy setting, but it needs meaningful renovation and currently lacks heating.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.

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 is in the Biellese pre-Alps, with wooded ridges and pasture around the Sessera valley. The Sessera torrent and the upper Cervo and Strona valleys are part of the local landscape. The Alta Valsessera area lies within reach here, with the Oasi Zegna regional protected area on the mountain ridge between Trivero and Bielmonte. The nearest ski area is Bielmonte, about 20–30 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Biella is the nearest town of size, with full services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. This part of the province is known for wool-textile history and for mountain pastures and chestnut woodland.
