What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€344/m²), the 160 m² house is completely unfinished and needs substantial restoration, estimated at about €176,000 (€1,100/m²). The effective cost is roughly €1,444/m², far above the Piemonte country-house baseline of €398/m², making this a weak deal despite its central village location.
More on the house and the area
This old Piedmontese house has genuine character, especially its weathered brick façade, green shutters, arched openings and atmospheric vaulted wine-cellar rooms. However, most of the 160 sqm is an unfinished renovation project rather than a usable home, so its beauty is outweighed by limited current livability.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€63,000 – €94,000
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.
- The main house is an unfinished shell requiring substantial renovation, with exposed brick, incomplete services and raw floors/walls.
- The listing states it is completely to be renovated; the photos do not establish move-in readiness despite the listed bathroom count.
- The attractive vaulted cellar/tavern is distinctive but currently cluttered and appears more like an ancillary space than a finished living area.
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 56/100The area sits in the hills and low ridges at the edge of the Apennines, between the lower Scrivia valley and the first rises toward the Ligurian watershed. The Scrivia river runs nearby, and the landscape around Novi Ligure is a mix of cultivated plains, vineyard and orchard country, and wooded slopes toward Gavi and the Val Borbera side. The nearest larger city is Alessandria, while Novi Ligure itself functions as the main service town for this part of southeastern Piemonte, with rail links, shops and hospitals. Gavi is close by, with its hilltop fort dominating the local landscape. This area is known for Gavi wine and for being a corridor between the Po plain and Genoa.
