In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
As listed price €65,000 plus estimated renovation €16,000 (200 €/m²) gives an effective €81,000 — about €1,013/m² versus the Piemonte baseline of ~€355/m². The house is habitable and includes a double garage, garden and many photos, but the effective price per m² is nearly three times the local median, so it reads as overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Neat, immediately-habitable townhouse with a fitted kitchen, balcony and a small private garden (≈40 m²) plus double garage — solid, practical living space. Finishings are ordinary and a light renovation/modernising would make it much more attractive; great value for the price in a quiet, green borgata but not a dramatic or historic showstopper.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Plain, dated finishes — cosmetic refresh recommended
- No sweeping views or historic features visible in photos
- Only one small 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 72/100The Ligurian Alps rise immediately around the village, with the Monregalese valleys and the higher slopes of the Marguareis massif close by. The Parco del Marguareis lies within this area, covering the karst mountains around the upper valleys. The nearest ski lifts are at Prato Nevoso and Artesina, a few minutes’ drive uphill, with the Mondolè Ski area spread across the slopes above the valley. Mondovì is the nearest town of size, with a historic upper town, services and rail connections. The area is known for mountain pasture, caves and karst terrain, and for winter sports on the Mondolè slopes.
