What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €13,000 (€57/m²), the price looks extremely low, but the condition is unspecified for a large 230 m² farmhouse. Assuming substantial renovation at about €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €757/m², well above the Piemonte farmhouse baseline of €263/m²; location is rural but has paved access and is 4 km from services.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine mountain scenery, lush private outdoor space and beautiful traditional stonework at an exceptional €13,000 price. However, the buildings look largely abandoned and structurally compromised, with debris and deteriorated roofs visible; it reads as a major restoration project, not a realistically livable home today.
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€46,000 – €81,000
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 main structures appear severely dilapidated, with damaged roofs, collapsing balconies, rubble and overgrown areas.
- No usable interior living spaces, kitchen or bathroom are shown, despite the listing reporting one bathroom.
- Likely a substantial restoration project rather than a move-in home; verify structural stability, utilities and access.
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 71/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Cottian Alps, where the plain around Saluzzo meets the mountain valleys leading toward Paesana and the upper Po. The Po rises on Monviso above Pian del Re, and Monviso dominates the skyline from this part of the valley. The Parco del Monviso begins up-valley, and the upper Po valley is the main named landscape feature of the area. The nearest ski lifts are the small facilities at Rucas near Bagnolo Piemonte, roughly 20–30 minutes by road, while the larger lifts of Crissolo are about 35–45 minutes away. Saluzzo is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services, and Pinerolo is the nearest larger urban centre. The area is known for orchards and mixed Alpine foothill farming, with Bagnolo Piemonte nearby also known for stone quarrying.
