What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €402/m², the asking price is essentially equal to the Piemonte country-house baseline of €398/m² before renovation. The description confirms a central independent house but gives no condition, energy, or construction details, so a conservative €700/m² renovation allowance makes the effective cost high.
More on the house and the area
A cheerful yellow village house with attractive green shutters, a small balcony, traditional tiled floors, and plenty of usable rooms. It appears to be a solid, functioning home with kitchen, bathroom, heating, and furnishings, but it is very dated and needs cleaning, cosmetic updating, and investigation of damp around ceilings and walls. At €35,000, the low price adds appeal, though the setting is practical rather than spectacular.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and cluttered, with visible damp/staining and maintenance needs.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a four-bedroom, three-level house.
- No garden or meaningful outdoor living area; the home is attached on both sides in a dense village setting.
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 lower Piedmont hills between the Orba and Lemme valleys, with mixed farmland, woods and low ridgelines rather than high mountains. The Orba river is nearby, and the landscape is shaped by its plain and the first rises of the Apennine foothills. The nearest larger town is Novi Ligure, which has the main services, rail connections and a substantial built-up area. Gavi is nearby and the area is known for Gavi wine from the hills around the fortress town.
