See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 plus an estimated €12,000 for basic upkeep, the effective cost is about €783/m², nearly three times the local comparison level of €263/m². The mountain setting and ready-to-use condition add appeal, but 20 m² is described as storage/deposit space, so its legal residential status should be verified.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric mountain farmhouse with exposed stone, heavy timber beams, a traditional fireplace, a small private garden, and dramatic alpine scenery nearby. The interiors are furnished, functional, and clearly habitable, including a working kitchen, bathroom, heating, and a finished attic bedroom, though the home is compact and rustic rather than spacious or polished.
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.
- Very compact layout, with only about 60 sqm across three levels.
- The attic bedroom has a low sloping ceiling, and the internal stairs are steep.
- Some rustic finishes and weathered exterior areas may need ongoing maintenance.
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 lower Val di Susa with the Graian Alps and the Susa Valley slopes immediately around it. The Dora Riparia runs through the valley. The Parco naturale Orsiera-Rocciavrè lies nearby on the south side of the valley. The Sacra di San Michele stands on Monte Pirchiriano within roughly this radius and is the main landmark of the lower valley. Bussoleno and Susa are the nearest larger valley towns with rail services, shops and daily services; Turin is farther down-valley for major urban functions. The area is known for the Val di Susa alpine corridor, mountain hiking and fortifications and religious sites linked to the valley.
