What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €480/m², the asking price is already above the Piemonte country-house baseline of €399/m²; allowing roughly €250/m² for unspecified condition brings the effective cost to about €730/m². The central village location and 16 photos are positives, but the missing condition and technical details prevent a stronger score.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable, furnished village house with a working-looking fireplace, balcony, traditional tile floors, and a particularly atmospheric vaulted cellar. It is more charming and affordable than spectacular, with dated décor and rough ancillary spaces, but the main living areas appear solid and immediately habitable.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- Dated interiors and furnishings would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The attic and cellar/storage areas are rough and utilitarian rather than finished living space.
- No garden or clearly demonstrated scenic view; only one bathroom for three bedrooms.
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 53/100The cluster sits in the Scrivia valley between the lower Piedmont hills and the first Ligurian Apennine ridges. The Scrivia river runs through this area, and within about 15 km the main landscape is a mix of valley floor, cultivated fields and low hills around Tortona and the roads toward the Apennine passes. Tortona is the nearest town of size, with a full set of daily services and a historic centre. This part of south-eastern Piedmont is known for wine hills and mixed farming, with Timorasso vineyards established around the Tortona hills.
