With a €200/m² allowance the effective price is ≈€95,600 (≈€748/m²) versus the regional sub‑€100k median of €314/m², so this is well above typical local value. The house is habitable with 24 photos, garage and garden, but the listing omits energy performance data.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived-in 1970s villa with attractive terraces, a private garden and a peaceful wooded view — clearly habitable and comfortable. Interiors are dated but clean (marble floors, good room proportions) so the house is move-in ready while benefitting from straightforward modernisation. Great value for a countryside home with outdoor space and privacy.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Dated 1970s interiors and small kitchen — cosmetic updating recommended
- Main living level reached by external staircase (access/comfort consideration)
- Only one bathroom
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 58/100The area lies in the hills of the Basso Monferrato on the right bank of the Po. The Po runs just below the ridge villages, and the Collina Torinese continues west toward Chivasso and the Turin edge. The Parco del Po piemontese includes stretches of river, woodland and riverbank habitat in this part of the valley. Chivasso is the nearest larger town, with rail connections, shops and everyday services; Turin is farther west and matters mainly for higher-order services and access. The area is known for mixed hill farming, woodland and small Monferrato villages rather than for a single landmark landscape.
