See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price €70,000 for 390 m² but listed as needing renovation; estimated works €700/m² (~€273k) give an effective cost ≈€343k or ≈€880/m², well above the Piemonte median of €356/m². Energy class G and no heating mean substantial interventions are required, so the low asking price does not translate to a cheap finished home.
More on the house and the area
Large 390 m² town house with real character — vaulted rooms, original beams and an internal courtyard give strong period charm. The structure is largely intact but requires a significant refurbishment to be a comfortable, modern home; excellent value for someone wanting a roomy Piemonte project.
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€77,000 – €137,000
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.

- Needs substantial renovation (plaster, finishes, likely electrical/plumbing updates).
- Visible damp/plaster damage and clutter — dehumidification and repair likely required.
- No working heating / energy class G — heating system upgrade needed.

The area around
Location score 58/100The cluster lies in the Bormida valley in the hills between the Langhe and Monferrato systems, with vineyard and woodland slopes around the river plain. The Bormida river runs through the area. Acqui Terme is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and thermal baths. This part of southern Piemonte is known for wine landscapes and mixed vine-covered hills, but the strongest named wine zones are outside the immediate 15 km radius.
