See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €72,000 (€1,029/m²), this stone farmhouse needs substantial renovation: an estimated €77,000 for 70 m² brings the effective cost near €2,129/m². The 600 m² garden, cellar and terrace add appeal, but the limited local comparison and remote Valle d’Aosta setting make this a renovation project rather than an obvious bargain.
More on the house and the area
This has exceptional Alpine-village character, with handsome stone buildings, a large private garden, and dramatic Valle d’Aosta mountain views. However, the interior is severely dated and partly debris-filled, while the property is explicitly sold as needing renovation, so it is an atmospheric project rather than a ready-to-live-in home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €41,000
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.
- Major renovation required; interiors are dark, deteriorated, and not currently livable.
- Roof structure appears aged with visible gaps and likely needs substantial repair.
- No usable kitchen or bathroom is shown; utilities and access should be verified.
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 68/100The cluster lies in the lower Aosta Valley with the Pennine Alps rising on both sides of the Dora Baltea valley. The Dora Baltea runs through the area. Fort Bard is within about 10 km in the narrowing of the valley. The nearest ski lifts are in the Monterosa domain above Champorcher and Gressoney, roughly 30–45 minutes by road depending on the base station, but they are outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The nearest larger town is Ivrea to the south-east, while within the valley the main service centres are Verrès and Pont-Saint-Martin. Arnad is known for Lard d'Arnad, a PDO cured pork product, and for its vineyards on the sunny side of the valley.
