What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €64,000 (€246/m²), the asking price is 31% below the Piemonte townhouse baseline of €355/m², but the property is presented as a custom renovation project. Adding an estimated €700/m² renovation cost produces an effective cost of about €946/m², with condition and other key details missing.
More on the house and the area
A large traditional Piedmont townhouse with wooden shutters, old terrazzo and tiled floors, a generous kitchen, balcony and some appealing period details. However, the interiors are dated and partly deteriorated, with visible moisture or plaster problems and at least one very rough room, so this is a renovation project rather than a ready dream 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€51,000 – €91,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is indicated, including peeling plaster, damp-looking walls, dated finishes and a very rough unfinished room.
- Shared vehicular access through the neighbor’s gate is explicitly noted.
- The 260 sqm layout may be costly to heat, maintain and modernize.
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 61/100San Damiano d'Asti sits in the Roero hill country, with cultivated ridges and small valleys between the Tanaro plain and the Langhe. The Tanaro river corridor lies nearby to the west. Asti is the nearest larger town, with rail connections, services and a substantial historic centre. Alba is also close enough for regular use and is the main town of the wine area south of the Tanaro. This part of Piemonte is known for vineyards, hazelnuts and wine production.
