What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 (€1,307/m²), the asking price is over 3× the Piemonte country-house baseline of €398/m²; assuming renovation needs, effective cost rises to about €2,007/m². The historic-center setting and private garden add value, but condition and key technical details are missing.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric, fully furnished historic home with exposed wooden beams, rustic textured walls, a working kitchen, fireplace, and a beautifully maintained private courtyard. The covered balcony and stone detailing add genuine character, while the house appears immediately livable rather than a renovation shell. It lacks a dramatic landscape view, but the outdoor space and historic-borgo setting make it a very compelling 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€15,000 – €27,000
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 narrow open-riser staircase may be less comfortable for some residents.
- The home is in a compact historic-borgo setting, with neighboring buildings close by.
- Only one bedroom and one bathroom are shown; utilities and technical/legal status are not confirmed by the photos.
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 84/100The cluster is on the slopes above Lake Maggiore, with the lake shore at Stresa and Baveno within about 10 km. Mottarone rises immediately inland above Gignese, and the lower western Ossola and Verbano pre-Alps frame the area. The closest ski area is Mottarone, with lifts on the mountain about 10 km away by road. Lake Orta lies just beyond Mottarone, with the near shore around Omegna roughly 15 km away. Stresa is the nearest town of size, with ferry connections on Lake Maggiore and the Borromean Islands offshore. The area is known for the lake-and-mountain landscape of the Verbano and for access to Mottarone’s panoramic ridge.
