What it really costs

After adding an estimated €200/m² for works (220 m² → +€44k), the effective price is ~€113k or ~€514/m² versus the regional baseline of €350/m², so this habitable, well-photographed house is priced above local norms. The property’s panorama, land and garage help but do not offset the higher effective €/m², so it ranks as overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Lovely, move-in habitable farmhouse with genuine rustic character — exposed beams, wooden ceilings and a warm stove — and a jaw-dropping panoramic mountain view. Solid usable courtyard and plot front the house, though the exterior/roof and the unpaved access road will need attention.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Access via a short unpaved/dirt track — factor for car access and deliveries
- Some roof tiles and exterior finishes look aged; roof inspection/repairs recommended
- Interior is lived-in and solid but would benefit from cosmetic updating to modernise
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 63/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Apennines, in the wooded and farmed hills around the upper Erro valley. The Erro stream and its side valleys shape the area, with chestnut woods, mixed forest and scattered hamlets typical of the inland Ovadese. The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri runs on the nearby main ridge, and the Monte Beigua massif and the Beigua Regional Natural Park lie just to the south-west, though the park core is not at the village itself. The nearest larger centres are Acqui Terme, with spa facilities and a substantial historic town, and Ovada, a market town with services. The area is known for woodland, small hill villages and the transition zone between Piedmont and Liguria.
