What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €335/m², the asking price is slightly below comparable homes, but substantial renovation at about €700/m² would raise the effective cost to roughly €1,035/m². The two independent units, garden and terraces add flexibility, but the renovation burden substantially weakens the deal.
More on the house and the area
A surprisingly large, independent two-unit house with generous terraces, leafy hill surroundings, patterned ceilings, chandeliers, marble-style floors, and a particularly attractive wood-paneled upper ceiling. It is not turnkey—the interiors are dated and some areas need meaningful refresh—but it appears solid, roofed, heated, and realistically usable rather than a ruin.
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€38,000 – €68,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs renovation and cosmetic updating, especially the kitchen, bathroom finishes, walls, and exterior concrete.
- The second unit appears to have dated interiors and some wall damage/graffiti.
- Verify the condition of the roof, utilities, insulation, and whether both apartments are fully compliant and independently usable.
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 61/100The area sits in the Tanaro valley between the Monferrato and Langhe hill country, with mixed vineyards, fields and wooded low hills around the river. The Tanaro runs by Rocchetta Tanaro, and the Rocchetta Tanaro Natural Park protects a belt of riparian woodland and hills near the village. Asti is the nearest larger town, with rail services, shops and the main urban services of the province. This part of the Astigiano is known for wine landscapes and vineyard agriculture, though the most famous UNESCO core areas of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato are not centered here.
