Effective price = €75,000 + €24,000 (120 m2 × €200/m2) = ~€99k or ~€825/m2, which is more than double the regional median of €355/m2, so it looks overpriced. The house is habitable with many photos and a two-apartment layout, but the listing text mentions bathrooms while the facts list 0 baths (contradiction) which lowers confidence.
More on the house and the area
Solid, sunny two-level mountain villa with a private flat garden, outdoor oven and a wide balcony with panoramic mountain views. The ground-floor unit is already renovated and the upper flat is habitable, so this is a realistic move-in option with light work rather than a full restoration — excellent value for €75k.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Upper apartment accessed by external stairs (separate entrances).
- Heating relies on stoves/GLP and fireplace — no obvious central gas heating.
- Some exterior and terrace maintenance/cosmetic work needed; verify condition of finishes and systems.
- Check energy certificate and confirm number of bathrooms/utility hookups.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps immediately around it. The Stura di Lanzo runs through the valley. The area is part of the Lanzo valleys mountain landscape below the higher Alpine side valleys toward Ala di Stura and Viù. The nearest ski facilities are the small lifts of Pian Benot above Usseglio, roughly 35–45 minutes by road, while the larger lifts of the upper Susa Valley are much farther and do not define the immediate setting. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of some size, with rail access toward Turin and everyday services. Turin is the nearest major city for higher-order services, about an hour away by road or rail from the lower valley. The area is known for Alpine valleys, hiking, second-home villages and summer access to mountain pastures and passes.
