What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €15,000 (€200/m²), the entry price is low, but assuming substantial renovation brings the effective cost to about €900/m² versus the Piemonte farmhouse baseline of €263/m². The description does not state the condition, making the renovation risk too high to call this a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, furnished three-level village home with balconies, a private paved courtyard, garage, and superb views over a wooded Apennine valley and traditional rooftops. The interiors are dated but usable rather than a bare shell, making the €15,000 price especially striking; however, visible cracks, aging roofs, and unfinished ancillary areas keep it below dream-home territory.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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.
- Interiors are highly dated and would benefit from modernization.
- Visible exterior wall cracks and aging roof tiles warrant a technical inspection.
- The property includes unfinished brick-built accessory spaces requiring further work.
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 63/100The cluster is in the upper Curone valley in the Ligurian Apennines, with wooded ridges and pasture around the scattered hamlets. The Curone stream runs through the valley, and this side valley lies close to the Parco Naturale Regionale delle Capanne di Marcarolo only farther west rather than inside it. The nearest skiing is small-scale Appennine skiing around Caldirola and Salice Terme-area uplands, roughly a 30–45 minute drive depending on the hamlet. The nearest town of some size is Tortona, which has rail connections, services and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for quiet Apennine villages, chestnut woods, mushrooms and the mixed Piedmont-Liguria mountain culture of the Four Provinces zone.
