See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 for 150 m², the asking price is already €660/m²; with the house described as completely customizable, estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,360/m² versus a local reference of €397/m². The central location, panoramic view, garden and garage add appeal, but the listing does not say enough about the current condition or energy performance to justify this premium.
More on the house and the area
A handsome independent Piedmontese house with a genuinely wide valley view, private garden, terrace, portico, and appealing old-fashioned details such as shutters, exposed masonry, a fireplace, and patterned tiles. The roofed, floored structure and existing bathroom make it more than a ruin, but the interiors are very rough and largely blank, requiring a serious renovation before comfortable full-time living.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including plastering, finishes, and likely electrical/plumbing updates.
- The kitchen appears stripped out and the bathroom is dated, so it is not move-in ready.
- Outdoor areas are currently overgrown and unfinished.
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 82/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills, with vineyard slopes and ridgelines immediately around it. The Tanaro valley lies nearby, and the Alps are visible to the west on clear days but are not within the immediate 15 km landscape. Barolo is a few kilometres away, and Alba is the nearest larger town in the wider area, with rail links, services and a substantial historic centre. This part of the Langhe is covered by the UNESCO World Heritage site Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato. The area is known for Barolo wine, vine-growing and food tourism linked to wine estates and local gastronomy.
