What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 (€408/m²), this 120 m² country house needs substantial renovation, estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,108/m² versus a regional reference of €397/m². The panoramic setting, balconies and double garage add appeal, but the remote inland location and heavy renovation burden make this weak value despite the fresh listing.
More on the house and the area
A solid, characterful Piedmont village house with balconies and genuinely beautiful rolling-hill views. It appears habitable, with a working kitchen, bathroom, heating and furnished rooms, but the interiors need a meaningful refresh rather than simple decorating. At €49,000 for 120 sqm with a double garage, it has strong dream-home potential for a buyer willing to renovate.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.
- Substantial cosmetic renovation is needed, with extensive peeling paint and dated finishes.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a five-room, three-level house.
- The panoramic outlook is excellent, but the home sits directly beside village roads rather than in a private setting.
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 68/100This is the Monferrato hill country, with ridges of vineyards, woods and cultivated slopes above the Po plain. The Po runs a few kilometres to the north, and the area sits between the lower Monferrato and the first hills rising from the river plain. Casale Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services and rail links. The wider Monferrato wine landscape is what the area is known for, with wine villages, isolated farmhouses and Romanesque churches scattered through the hills.
