What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €168/m², the €19,000 asking price is far below the Piemonte baseline of €355/m², but an estimated €700/m² renovation brings the effective cost to about €868/m². The home is reached via a 15-minute mule track, and its condition is unspecified, making access and renovation uncertainty substantial.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, multi-room house with tiled floors, a fitted kitchen, bathroom, fireplace, bedrooms and a generous outdoor terrace/garden setting. Its exceptional mountain-valley views and dramatic rocky surroundings create the dream factor, although the steep pedestrian access and tired exterior keep it below the top tier.
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€22,000 – €40,000
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.
- Access is via a footpath/mulattiera taking about 15 minutes, so carrying supplies and reaching the home by car may be difficult.
- The exterior terraces, railings and paths look weathered and will need maintenance.
- Interiors are usable but dated, with visible wall wear, clutter and likely a need for cleaning and cosmetic renovation.
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 67/100The cluster sits in the Orco Valley at the entrance to the Gran Paradiso side valleys, with the Graian Alps close around the upper valley. The Orco river runs through this stretch of valley. Gran Paradiso National Park begins farther up the valley around Noasca and Ceresole Reale, outside the immediate 15 km radius. The nearest substantial town is Cuorgnè, which provides everyday shops and services; Ivrea is the larger centre for hospitals, rail links and a fuller set of services. This part of the Canavese is known for alpine valley scenery and for access up-valley toward Ceresole Reale and the Gran Paradiso area.
