What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €564/m², the €39,500 asking price is already above the Piemonte baseline of €263/m²; assuming substantial renovation at about €700/m², effective cost rises to roughly €1,264/m². The stone house has parking and 14 photos, but its remote 955 m alpine setting and missing condition/energy data weaken the case.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly photogenic stone farmhouse in a beautifully preserved Apennine village, with mountain views, slate-paved communal spaces, a balcony, and strong historic character. The interior is not luxurious, but it is a genuine, roofed and furnished home with a kitchen, two bathrooms, bedrooms, wood-floored living spaces, and heating—livable immediately with mostly cosmetic modernization. At €39,500, the combination of scenery, character, and usability is unusually compelling.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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 fully usable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Heating appears to rely at least partly on a pellet stove; energy performance and utility details are not provided.
- The home is in a small mountain hamlet at about 955 m elevation, so access and winter conditions should be checked.
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.
