In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 (€434/m²), the price is close to comparable local listings, but the description says the house needs refurbishment and a boiler replacement. With estimated renovation costs of about €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €1,134/m², making this weak value despite its 5 km proximity to Aosta, private courtyard, garage, and heating.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, spacious Alpine townhouse with dramatic mountain views, balconies, slate-roofed village surroundings, and some authentic vaulted and wood-paneled character. It is habitable rather than a ruin, with a functioning-looking kitchen, bathroom, heating radiators, and private outdoor space, but the interiors are very dated and the property needs meaningful modernization.
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€41,000 – €72,000
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.
- Clearly dated interiors and finishes require renovation or substantial refreshing.
- Heating boiler reportedly needs replacement; verify all systems and energy performance.
- Multiple floors and a compact village setting may limit accessibility and parking.
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 78/100The cluster is in the Aosta basin with the Graian Alps and Pennine Alps closing the valley on both sides. The Dora Baltea runs through this part of the valley. Pila, the main ski area above Aosta and Gressan, is reached by road in about 20–30 minutes from the valley floor, and the Aosta–Pila gondola leaves from the edge of the built-up area nearby. Aosta is the nearest town of size and has the full services of the regional capital together with major Roman remains including the Arch of Augustus, the Roman theatre and the city walls. The area is known for its Alpine setting, winter sports and the castles and fortified sites spread through the central Aosta Valley.
