The €40,000 asking price is attractive at €308/m², with a garden, cellar, balcony and double garage. However, the house is partially to renovate; allowing about €600/m² puts the effective cost near €908/m², well above the local €397/m² reference, and the listing does not say how extensive the works are.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable 130 sqm village house with three bedrooms, a balcony, private courtyard, garage, and lovely rolling Monferrato countryside views. The setting gains character from the historic church and old brick-and-stone buildings, while the interiors are solid but dated and cluttered, making this a renovation project rather than a polished dream 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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- Partially renovated and visibly dated, with repainting and modernization likely needed.
- Large courtyard/outbuildings appear utilitarian and untidy rather than landscaped.
- Only one bathroom is shown; roof, systems, and legal compliance should be checked.
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 71/100This is the Monferrato hill country, with ridges of vineyards, woods and small farmed valleys. The Po is north of here, and the Tanaro runs farther south, but the immediate setting is inland hills rather than a riverbank. Casale Monferrato is the nearest larger town, with services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. The wider area is known for wine landscapes and wine production, especially Barbera and Grignolino. Parts of Monferrato are included in the UNESCO wine landscape listing of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, with the core zones in the wider district rather than in every village.
