What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 (€380/m²), estimated effective cost is about €145,000 or €580/m² after €200/m² for habitable-condition upgrades, well above the Piemonte villa baseline of €315/m². The 3,660 m² plot, garage, terraces and good roof add value, but the oil boiler needs replacement and the property is not a discounted deal.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, genuinely habitable Piedmont villa with broad hill-and-valley views, excellent privacy, terraces, and 3,660 sqm of usable land. The house is solid and comfortable rather than beautifully restored, with dated interiors and some practical upgrading needed, but the size, setting, and €95,000 price create a compelling live-in Italian-home proposition.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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 and furnishings are quite dated and would benefit from modernization.
- The heating boiler needs replacement, and the attic is currently an adaptable unfinished space rather than finished living accommodation.
- The landscaped swimming pool visible in the aerial imagery appears to belong to a neighboring property; the listing says this land is suitable for adding a pool.
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 58/100The cluster lies in the Bormida valley in the hills between the Langhe and Monferrato systems, with vineyard and woodland slopes around the river plain. The Bormida river runs through the area. Acqui Terme is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and thermal baths. This part of southern Piemonte is known for wine landscapes and mixed vine-covered hills, but the strongest named wine zones are outside the immediate 15 km radius.
