€35,000 for 152 m² (230 €/m²) is very cheap and the description calls it “perfettamente conservata” with 22 photos, so I assume a habitable standard and budget 200 €/m² for minor works. That gives an effective total ≈€65,400 (≈€430/m²) versus the regional median €400/m², so it’s a fair-to-good country-house buy rather than a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
Classic stone baita with wooden balconies and flower-filled terraces in the Valli di Lanzo — very photogenic and full of historic character. Description and photos suggest a well‑conserved, usable three‑level home (152 m²) that feels move‑in ready, though plumbing/heating and access details should be confirmed.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Only one bathroom for a 4‑bed house — may need adding a second bath
- Mountain location: check road access and winter/snow conditions
- Energy/heating info not provided — verify systems and insulation
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 71/100The cluster sits in the Valli di Lanzo, with the Graian Alps around the valley and the upper valley rising toward peaks on the French border. The Stura di Lanzo runs through this part of the valley. Ceres is one of the main small centres of the Val Grande di Lanzo, with everyday services and the Torino–Ceres rail link toward the plain. The nearest larger town is Lanzo Torinese, and Turin is the main city for higher-order services. This area is known for alpine valley settlements, hiking and summer access into the Lanzo valleys.
