Effective price about €66,050 (€50,000 + €16,050 assumed works) = ~617 €/m² versus the local median of €355/ m², so this listing is a clear premium to the market; it is nevertheless immediately habitable, in very good condition and includes ~1,300 m² of land, garage and a terrace which help justify the higher price.
More on the house and the area
Tidy, immediately habitable village house with a covered panoramic terrace and a very rare ~1,300 m² private plot — great outdoor value for the price. Interiors are solid but dated; the upper loft is unfinished and the garden outbuilding looks rough. Overall a liveable, affordable Monferrato home with strong outdoor appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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.
- Interiors dated — cosmetic refresh recommended
- Attic/loft area is unfinished (al grezzo)
- Only one full bedroom and one bathroom

The area around
Location score 70/100The cluster sits in the Monferrato hills, in a landscape of vine-covered ridges and small valleys. The Belbo and Bormida valleys are the main river valleys in this part of southern Asti and western Alessandria. This is wine country known for Barbera d'Asti, Moscato and other Monferrato and Langhe-Roero-Monferrato denominations. Nizza Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with everyday services and a substantial historic centre. Canelli is also close, known for wine cellars and sparkling-wine production. Parts of the wine landscape around here are included in the UNESCO vineyard landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, with the core zones centred on nearby vine hills rather than on every surrounding village.
