At €48,000, the estimated all-in cost is about €69,600, or €644/m² after allowing for habitable-condition work—well above the local €356/m² benchmark. The stone village setting, Via Francigena location, fireplace, garage and mountain surroundings add lifestyle value, but the listing does not say that the entire property is fully renovated.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric Alpine-borgo townhouse with exceptional mountain views, old stonework, terracotta floors, timber details, and a genuine fireplace. Unlike a renovation shell, it is furnished and usable, with a functioning kitchen, two bathrooms, heating, and a bedroom, though the exterior areas and some finishes need upkeep.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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 exposed roof surfaces and surrounding courtyard look weathered and may need maintenance.
- Access is through traditional stone stairs and the home is spread across multiple levels.
- The interior is habitable but modest, with dated kitchen and bathroom finishes and only one bedroom shown.
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 cluster sits at the mouth of the Dora Baltea valley, with the first Alpine slopes closing in immediately above the settlement. The Dora Baltea runs through the area. The Mont Avic Natural Park and the lower Aosta Valley mountain landscape are just upstream, and the Serra d'Ivrea morainic ridge begins nearby toward Ivrea. The nearest substantial town is Ivrea, which has full services and a historic center with UNESCO recognition for its 20th-century industrial city of Olivetti. The area is known for the transition from the Canavese plain into the Aosta Valley and for fortified and terraced valley settlements along the Dora corridor.
