See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000, the house appears to need substantial renovation, estimated at about €91,000 (€700/m²), bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,162/m² versus €398/m² for comparable local homes. The listing offers good size, parking and services nearby, but the condition and exact legal status of the attic are not clearly specified.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable country home rather than an empty shell, with several bedrooms, a functioning kitchen and bathroom, tiled floors, heating radiators, and attractive vaulted ceilings. Its strongest appeal is the traditional character and open views toward fields and wooded hills, but the interiors are old-fashioned and the roofed courtyard/open upper structure needs careful inspection.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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 habitable but dated, with cosmetic updating and likely modernization needed.
- The large open timber-roofed upper structure/courtyard should be checked for waterproofing and structural condition.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 130 sqm, four-bedroom house; utilities and systems are not documented.
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 cluster sits in the plain at the foot of the Ligurian Alps and the first Maritime Alpine valleys, with open views toward the alpine arc around Mondovì and Cuneo. The Corsaglia valley and the lower Tanaro basin are the main nearby landforms. The nearest town of size is Mondovì, which has a substantial upper historic centre, services and rail connections. The Langhe hills begin not far to the east, but the immediate surroundings are mainly agricultural plain and low foothills.
