What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €32,000, the home costs €444/m² before works, but its renovation needs add an estimated €50,400, bringing the effective cost to about €1,144/m² versus roughly €397/m² for comparable local homes. The independent entrance, garden and terrace are positives, but the required renovation makes this weak value.
More on the house and the area
This is a pleasant, independent pink country house surrounded by mature greenery and a private garden, but it has little distinctive historic or scenic appeal in the photos. The intact-looking roof and enclosed structure suggest a real renovation candidate rather than a ruin, although the neglected exterior and lack of interior images keep it in the project-home category.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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 listing explicitly says the house needs renovation.
- No interior photos are provided, so actual livability, bathroom and kitchen condition are unverified.
- The garden is substantial but visibly overgrown and would need clearing and maintenance.
- Utilities, insulation and roof condition are not documented.
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 62/100Cassinasco sits in the Langa Astigiana, on the hill country between the Bormida valley and the higher Langhe. The Bormida di Millesimo valley is nearby, and the area is known for woodland, vineyards, hazelnut groves and small hill villages. Canelli is the nearest town of size, with rail services, wine cellars and the core of the Asti Spumante and Moscato area. This part of southern Asti is tied to the wine landscape that continues toward the Langhe, with rolling ridges rather than major alpine relief.
