What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €405/m², the €77,000 asking price is close to the weak local baseline of €362/m²; after an estimated €700/m² renovation, effective cost is about €1,105/m². The sunny independent farmhouse is well located 2 km from Saint-Vincent’s thermal baths, but condition, bathrooms, energy class, and renovation scope are missing.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric Alpine stone farmhouse with strong historic character, a sunny valley setting, and visible mountain views. However, the property appears largely raw and uninhabitable in the photos, with no interiors or bathrooms shown, so its beauty is currently that of a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in 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€38,000 – €67,000
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.
- Appears to be a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home.
- No bathrooms or usable interior spaces are shown; utilities and services are unconfirmed.
- Roofing, floors, structure, and access should be professionally assessed before purchase.
- The 190 sqm layout may include former agricultural/storage areas rather than fully habitable rooms.
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 is in the central Aosta Valley, with the Pennine Alps and the main Dora Baltea valley immediately around it. The Dora Baltea runs through the valley floor below Saint-Vincent. Mont Avic Natural Park lies nearby to the south-east, within the valley system. The nearest major ski area is Cervinia in the Valtournenche, about 40–50 minutes by road, and smaller lifts are closer in the Ayas and Torgnon side valleys. Aosta is the nearest town of size, with full services and major Roman monuments, and Châtillon is the immediate service centre in the same valley. The area is known for its alpine valley setting and for being close to the side valleys leading toward Valtournenche, Ayas and the Monte Rosa and Matterhorn sectors.
