Alessandria commuters and families
Alessandria commuters and families suit this house best because the town is about 18 minutes away and the home already has two bathrooms and three bedrooms. The 60 m² terrace and open view also suit buyers who want outdoor space without a large garden. It is less suitable for someone seeking a turnkey holiday rental in a lively village.

Is it a good buy: About what similar houses cost
Payback could take roughly eight to eleven years in a simple holiday-let scenario. The entry price is below similar houses, but the finished range rises above them; Alessandria is 18 minutes away and Gavi’s wine area 52 minutes away, which helps but does not guarantee bookings.
- What you end up payingAbout 59,700-67,700 EUR: 49,000 EUR asking price plus 10,700-18,700 EUR works
- What letting might bringAt 90 booked nights and 60-150 EUR per night, about 5,400-13,500 EUR a year gross
- Years to earn that backAbout 4-13 years gross; at 90 EUR per night and 90 nights, about 7-9 years
- How easily it sells againSlowly: only five listings are currently in Montecastello, so this is a thin local market
Lived in and usable today, with two furnished bathrooms, working-looking radiators and no stripped rooms in the photographs. The main costs are a dated kitchen, old windows, weathered facade and a worn 60 m² terrace. Its broad terrace, open countryside view and easy access to Alessandria are the house’s strongest points.
- As it stands€49,000
- Settled in the first year€54,400 – €59,200
- Everything on this list€59,700 – €66,900
- Replace windows€3,000 – €5,400
The older windows and glazed doors look draught-prone and inefficient, although they are not visibly broken.
about 250-450 EUR per m2 for roughly 12 m2 of replacement windows and doors torinofinestre.it
- Terrace renewal€2,400 – €4,800
The large terrace has worn surfaces, staining and visible cracks; a simple waterproofing and surface renewal allowance is sensible.
about 40-80 EUR per m2 over the advertised 60 m2 terrace instapro.it
- Kitchen update€4,500 – €6,500
The kitchen is usable-looking but dated and partly unfitted, so allow for a practical refit rather than a luxury one.
- Facade repaint€800 – €1,200
The outside render and shutters are weathered, so budget for cleaning and repainting the visible facade.
- Roof watertightness and remaining tile life
- Electrical safety and compliance
- Plumbing leaks, drainage and hot-water system
- Heating source, boiler condition and running cost
- Damp behind finishes and under the terrace
- Interiors are clean and usable but distinctly dated, with cosmetic modernization likely needed.

The area around
Location score 52/100This area lies on the Bormida and Tanaro plain at the meeting point of the Tanaro valley with the lower hills of Monferrato. The Tanaro and Bormida rivers are the main landscape features close to the town. To the west and northwest, within this radius, the land starts to rise into the Monferrato hills with vineyards and mixed farmland. Alessandria is the nearest town of size and has the full services of a provincial capital, a historic centre, rail junction and hospital. The wider area is known for wine production in Monferrato and for flat agricultural land around the river confluence.
