What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 (€538/m²), plus an estimated €700/m² renovation cost, the effective cost is about €1,238/m² versus the Piemonte farmhouse baseline of €263/m². The central location and 12 photos help, but the listing lacks condition, age, and energy data and remains expensive for a full renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful historic village property with traditional stone roofs, old balconies and attractive wooded mountain surroundings. However, the building appears substantially deteriorated and is sold as a renovation project, so it is not currently a realistically move-in-ready home.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- Explicitly described as a rustico da ristrutturare requiring renovation.
- Visible facade deterioration, damaged plaster, aging roofs and likely significant structural/utility work.
- No interior photos are provided, so actual habitability, kitchen and bathroom condition are unverified.
- Directly on a street in a dense village setting, with no clearly usable private garden.
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 71/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Cottian Alps, where the plain around Saluzzo meets the mountain valleys leading toward Paesana and the upper Po. The Po rises on Monviso above Pian del Re, and Monviso dominates the skyline from this part of the valley. The Parco del Monviso begins up-valley, and the upper Po valley is the main named landscape feature of the area. The nearest ski lifts are the small facilities at Rucas near Bagnolo Piemonte, roughly 20–30 minutes by road, while the larger lifts of Crissolo are about 35–45 minutes away. Saluzzo is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services, and Pinerolo is the nearest larger urban centre. The area is known for orchards and mixed Alpine foothill farming, with Bagnolo Piemonte nearby also known for stone quarrying.
