What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €607/m², the €85,000 asking price is already 52% above the Piemonte country-house baseline of €398/m²; assuming substantial renovation, effective cost rises to about €1,214/m². The 29 photos, garden, parking and recent listing help, but condition is unspecified and the inland hamlet location adds little value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, highly usable mountain home with warm wood interiors, exposed beams, traditional slate roofs, balconies, and a spectacular green valley view. The house appears solid and lived-in rather than an empty renovation shell, with generous rooms, multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms, and garden/terrace space. The rougher outbuildings and hillside setting add character but also practical upkeep and access considerations.
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€28,000 – €49,000
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 surrounding outbuildings, fences, and garden areas look rustic and will need ongoing maintenance.
- The hillside borgata setting may mean narrow pedestrian access and limited convenience by car.
- The kitchen and full bathroom finishes are not clearly shown in the gallery.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Val Chisone, with the Cottian Alps rising immediately around it. The Chisone river runs through the valley. Fenestrelle and its fort are within the valley to the west. Pinerolo is the nearest larger town, with rail links, services and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for alpine valley settlement, woodland and pasture, and for the old military road and fort system of the upper Val Chisone. The nearest ski area is around Pragelato and the Via Lattea sector, reached up-valley in roughly 35–45 minutes by road.
