At €55,000 (€873/m²), estimated effective cost is about €1,073/m² after modest habitable-home costs, far above the local €356/m² benchmark. The independent furnished townhouse, balcony, garage and heating are positives, but the price is difficult to justify for a 63 m² home.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable, furnished townhouse with a pleasant balcony, garage, heating, and a clean, cared-for interior. It is move-in ready rather than a renovation project, but the appeal is practical and homely rather than spectacular: there is little architectural character or standout setting.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- No visible landscape view, garden, or distinctive historic features.
- Energy class and running costs are not provided.
- The kitchen and bathroom are functional but compact and dated in style.
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 68/100The area is in the Canavese, with the morainic hills left by the ancient glacier of the Dora Baltea and the first Alpine reliefs visible to the north. The Dora Baltea runs nearby, and the Ivrea morainic amphitheatre lies within the local landscape. Castello di Masino is in Caravino itself on the ridge above the plain. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with services, a historic centre and UNESCO recognition for the 20th-century industrial city of Olivetti. The area is known for mixed farmland, vineyards on the morainic slopes, and the transition from the Po plain to the Aosta valley corridor.
