Listed at €59,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (~€42,000) gives an effective price of ~€101,000 (~€1,683/m²) versus the local median of €355/m² — clearly above market norms despite being connected to utilities and having a garage and garden.
More on the house and the area
A solid, intact two‑storey town house with charming vaulted/beam ceilings, a working fireplace and a private paved courtyard/mini garden — clearly liveable with mainly cosmetic work. Excellent value for someone wanting a compact village home, but expect small rooms and dated fixtures to be refreshed.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.

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 54/100The cluster lies on the flat plain between Cuneo and Turin, with the Cottian Alps visible to the west on clear days but outside the immediate landscape. The area is crossed by the Maira and by irrigation canals of the lower Piedmont plain. Racconigi is a small service town with shops and rail links, and it is known above all for the Castello Reale di Racconigi and its park, part of the UNESCO Savoy residences. The surrounding land is mainly agricultural, with fields and farmsteads across the plain.
