What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €412/m², the asking price is already slightly above the Piemonte country-house baseline of €398/m²; allowing roughly €700/m² to convert and personalize the former restaurant/pensione produces an effective cost near €1,112/m². The missing condition and conversion details add risk, with no meaningful location premium at 27 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, fully roofed country property with usable rooms, kitchen, bathrooms, and a large former restaurant area, set amid attractive Piemonte hills and open countryside. It is not a polished dream home: the décor is dated, the garden needs clearing, and the commercial layout will require work, but this is a real livable house rather than a ruin.
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€48,000 – €84,000
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 interiors are dated and will need meaningful cosmetic updating and personalization.
- The property was previously used as a restaurant/pension, so the layout may require conversion for comfortable residential use.
- The garden is attractive in potential but currently overgrown, and the house sits directly alongside a road.
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.
