More on the house and the area
The house has real charm — a handsome brick façade and some beautifully finished interiors (modern kitchen and bathroom) alongside older rooms with original wooden floors and period character. Overall it’s a large, attractive property but in mixed condition and will need targeted renovation to be fully liveable.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Property listed as in 'scarsa manutenzione' — requires substantial renovation.
- Photos are inconsistent: some rooms look newly finished while others are dilapidated; actual condition may vary across the house.
- Listing notes images may be indicative only — verify real photos, plans and utilities before bidding.
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 72/100The area is in the Monferrato hills, with vine-covered slopes, small wooded ridges and mixed farming. The nearest river of note is the Po farther north, but within the local radius the landscape is mainly rolling inland hills rather than a major water feature. Asti is the nearest larger town with full services, rail links and a substantial historic centre, and Casale Monferrato is also within practical reach. This part of Monferrato is known for vineyards and wine production, especially the hills of the Asti and Monferrato wine country. The wider Monferrato wine landscape has UNESCO World Heritage status, including core zones in the Asti area.
