This is a judicial auction (min. offer €37,670) and the text says the main unit lacks systems and needs major restoration, so the advertised "Renovated" condition is contradictory. Estimated renovation ≈€700/m² (total effective ≈€218k → ≈€846/m²) versus local baseline €312/m², so legal and rehab risks make this a trap for typical buyers.
More on the house and the area
Charming historic town-house complex with stone walls, ivy-covered facades and a little private courtyard/stream — very picturesque for central Dogliani. The structure looks sound but the interior and systems need substantial work, so this is a renovation project with great character and a strong bargain price.
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€51,000 – €90,000
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.
- Significant renovation and conservative restoration required (walls/finishes/fixtures).
- Main unit reportedly lacks electrical and plumbing systems — utilities need installation.
- Balconies, terraces and courtyard are overgrown and will need repair/structural check.
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 77/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills, with vine-covered ridges, wooded folds and scattered farmhouses within the immediate landscape. The Tanaro valley is nearby to the north, and the Ligurian Alps are visible on clear days from higher ground in this part of southern Piemonte. This is wine country: Dogliani gives its name to a DOCG red, and the surrounding hills are part of the wider Langhe viticultural landscape. Barolo and Monforte d'Alba are within roughly 15 km, and the area around them is known for vineyards, wine villages and cellar towns. The Langhe-Roero and Monferrato UNESCO World Heritage vineyard landscape includes nearby zones in this part of the hills. Alba is the nearest larger town, with services, rail links and the white truffle market for which the wider area is known.
