In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €89,000 for 155 m² (€574/m²) and estimated renovation €200/m² → effective €120,000 or about €774/m², well above the regional median of €356/m². The house is habitable, has 46 photos and ~9,750 m² of land, but the high effective price vs. the Piemonte baseline keeps this in the fair range; the listing does not state an energy class.
More on the house and the area
A characterful, habitable stone townhouse with a very large terrace, private garden and sweeping mountain-valley views — genuinely photogenic outside and comfortably fitted inside (wood panelling, fireplaces, usable kitchen). Nearly 10,000 m² of land and the low price make this a rare bargain for someone wanting to actually live in a scenic Piedmont mountain home, though expect some cosmetic refresh and to manage the multi-level layout.
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.
- Multi-level townhouse with many internal stairs (not ideal for limited mobility)
- Some cosmetic updating likely (kitchen/bathroom/finishes)
- Mountain village location — check winter/access and local services
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.
