What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 for about 550 m², the estimated restoration cost is roughly €605,000, producing an effective cost near €1,245/m² versus the €362/m² baseline. The baseline is based on only 22 listings, but this large four-storey rustico is explicitly described as needing renovation and lacks key condition data.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric Alpine farmhouse with superb Valle d’Aosta mountain views, traditional stone walls, aged timber, slate roofs, balconies, and a large rural footprint. However, the gallery shows that most of the property is a raw barn-like structure rather than a ready home; only a small furnished section appears presently livable, making this primarily a major renovation project.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€218,000 – €322,000
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.
- Most of the 550–600 sqm appears to be an uninhabitable rustic shell with storage/barn interiors, debris, and unfinished floors.
- Substantial renovation is likely required, including roof/timber assessment, plumbing, heating, insulation, and conversion of the upper spaces into legal living areas.
- Only one furnished living/kitchen area and one bathroom are visibly usable; access is through a dense mountain hamlet and the property is spread over multiple levels.
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 78/100The cluster sits in the main Aosta Valley with the Graian Alps and Pennine Alps around it, and the valley sides rise quickly above the Dora Baltea. The Dora Baltea runs through this stretch of valley. The Gran Paradiso National Park begins just to the south in the valleys above Villeneuve and Introd, with access into the park area within about 15 km. The nearest ski lifts are in the Pila area above Aosta, roughly 20–30 minutes by road to the Aosta departure points, and in the Cogne valley about 35–45 minutes by road depending on the exact village. Aosta is the nearest town of size, with full services, rail connections, and a substantial Roman and medieval historic centre. Aymavilles is known for the Castello di Aymavilles, and this part of the valley is also known for vineyards and castles spread along the Dora Baltea corridor.
