In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €68,000 for 150 m², the home appears habitable, but allowing roughly €30,000 for normal updates gives an effective cost near €653/m² versus €356/m² for comparable local stock. The panoramic Roero setting, terrace, cellar, garage and land add appeal, but the price remains high for the area.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Piemonte home with sweeping Roero hill views, a large covered terrace, grape pergola, garden and additional terraced land. The house appears well maintained, with a usable kitchen and bathrooms, pellet heating, double glazing and a refurbished roof; the brick outbuilding, fireplace and traditional details add character. At €68,000 for 150 m² plus outdoor space, it has strong dream-home value despite modest, dated finishes.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Some outbuildings and exterior areas look dated and may need maintenance.
- The interior is fully usable but fairly plain rather than high-design.
- Shared-courtyard arrangements and utility connections for the additional land should be verified.
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 68/100This is the Roero hill country, with vine-covered ridges, small woods and mixed farming between the Tanaro valley and the lower hills toward Asti. The Tanaro river runs a few kilometres away near Alba and marks the edge between Roero and the Langhe. Within about 15 km the main town of size is Asti, with a substantial historic centre, cathedral and services; Alba is a little farther beyond that radius but still part of everyday geography for this area. The area is known for wine, including nearby Roero vineyards, and for hazelnuts in the wider Alba-Asti countryside.
