What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 and an estimated €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €1,371/m² (€112,400 total), versus a Piemonte farmhouse baseline of €263/m². Garden, parking and pool add appeal, but the required renovation and missing condition/building data make this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
A solid, characterful two-level farmhouse with a beautiful open view toward the green Piemonte hills and surrounding fields. The interiors are fully furnished and functional, with a kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, tiled floors, and good natural light, though the decor and finishes are distinctly dated. At €55,000, the combination of livability, outdoor space, and scenery is compelling.
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€16,000 – €29,000
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 home is clearly usable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic renovation.
- Only one bathroom is shown for three bedrooms.
- The garden is spacious but currently rough and needs landscaping.
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 74/100The cluster sits at the mouth of the Valle Maira, with the Cottian Alps immediately to the west and the first alpine relief rising within a few kilometres. The Maira river runs through this area. The Riserva naturale dei Ciciu del Villar is in the comune, with its erosion columns at the base of Monte San Bernardo. Dronero is the nearest town of size and has the valley’s main services and a substantial historic centre. Cuneo is the nearest larger city for full urban services. The area is known for the entrance to the Maira valley and for the Ciciu rock formations.
