See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €39,000 asking price is attractive at €231/m², but the house needs a complete rebuild including the roof, systems and floor slabs. Allowing roughly €1,300/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,540/m², so this is a substantial project rather than a clear bargain; local comparison data is limited.
More on the house and the area
This is a large traditional Alpine-village townhouse with weathered wooden balconies, mountain surroundings and a very attractive €39,000 price for 169 sqm. However, it is a major renovation project rather than a ready home: the roof, systems and structural slabs reportedly need work, despite some furnished rooms and working bathrooms/kitchens.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,300/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€67,000 – €99,000
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 listing explicitly says it is totally to renovate, including the roof, systems and floor slabs.
- Several interiors are dated but usable, while other rooms are unfinished, damp-looking or in poor condition.
- Mountain-village access appears narrow and potentially difficult for vehicles; utilities and structural condition need verification.
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 76/100The cluster is in the Aosta valley with the Pennine and Graian Alps around it. The Dora Baltea runs through the main valley. Mont Avic Natural Park lies to the east within this part of the valley system. Pila’s ski area above Aosta is the nearest major lift network, reached in about 30–40 minutes depending on access to the gondola. Aosta is the nearest town of size and has the region’s main services together with extensive Roman remains including the Arch of Augustus, the theatre and city walls. The area is known for its alpine valley landscape, castles on slopes above the valley floor, and mountain access toward the central Valle d’Aosta side valleys.
