Estimated renovation cost ~EUR 700/m² → effective total ≈ EUR 287,000 or ≈ EUR 844/m², far above the Piemonte baseline of EUR 260/m², so the renovation burden makes this overpriced. The listing text states ~200 m² while the facts list 340 m², a direct contradiction in floor area.
More on the house and the area
Lovely rural setting with wide green valley views, generous private grounds and attractive historic touches (brick barrel vault and a handsome brick portico). The building is a solid, roofed farmhouse but appears to need significant renovation and finishing — a strong bargain for someone ready to restore and personalise.
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€67,000 – €119,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Property needs substantial renovation — scaffolding visible on the façade.
- Some sections (barn/portico) are open/unfinished and will require work to make fully habitable.
- Verify utilities, permissions and energy certification before purchase.
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 78/100The cluster sits in the Roero hills, a landscape of vineyard ridges, small woods and cultivated slopes between the Tanaro plain and the Langhe. The Tanaro river runs nearby below the hills. This is part of the Langhe-Roero and Monferrato UNESCO wine landscape. Alba is the nearest substantial town, with a full service centre, a historic core and the main market and rail connections for the area. The area is known for wine, especially Roero and nearby Barolo and Barbaresco zones, and for white truffles around Alba.
