What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €70,000 asking price is €700/m², but the house requires complete restoration; at an estimated €1,100/m², effective cost is about €1,800/m² versus the Piemonte baseline of €398/m². The 640 m² garden and annex add appeal, but do not offset the very high renovation burden in this inland location.
More on the house and the area
This is a roofed independent house in a green mountain setting, with a substantial garden and a clearly visible alpine backdrop. However, the exterior is heavily weathered and the property needs complete refurbishment; without interior photos or a confirmed usable bathroom, it reads more as a renovation project than a ready-to-live-in Italian home.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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 house is described as requiring complete renovation, so it is not move-in ready.
- No interior photos are provided; the condition of floors, services, kitchen and bathroom is unclear.
- The listing states approximately 640 m² of surrounding land, but access, utilities and renovation legality should be verified.
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 82/100Lake Orta is in the town. The lower western Alps and the prealpine ridges of Cusio and Mottarone surround the area. Mottarone is the nearest mountain of note, with road access and seasonal lifts around 20–30 minutes away. The Strona valley runs up from Omegna into wooded mountain terrain. Orta San Giulio, one of the Borghi più belli d’Italia, is on the same lake about 15 km away. The area is known for Lake Orta, for lakeside settlements, and for householdware manufacturing around Omegna and the Cusio district.
