Estimated effective price €79,000 + €10,000 renovation = €89,000 or €1,780/m2, about 4.0× the local median of €444/m2; the house is described as habitable with 7 photos and a large ~4,000 m2 plot, but the asking price is well above regional norms.
More on the house and the area
Charming stone house with a sunny south-facing terrace, fig tree and extensive terraced land giving broad valley and mountain views — very photogenic. Listed as habitable, it feels like a ready-to-enjoy rural retreat, though the home is small and the steep, terraced grounds and access will need practical 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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Perched on a narrow hillside road — access/parking may be limited
- Small living area (50 m²) so space is tight
- Terraced grounds (4,000 m²) need maintenance and care
- Only exterior photos shown; interior may need updating despite 'habitable' status
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 cluster sits in the central Aosta Valley with the Pennine Alps close around it and side valleys opening toward higher peaks. The Dora Baltea runs through the main valley. The area is known for terraced vineyards and Chambave wine production on the sunnier slopes above the valley floor. Saint-Vincent and Châtillon are the nearest larger centres in the valley and provide daily services, shops and rail access. The medieval castle of Fénis is within this part of the valley. Ski lifts are not in the immediate 15 km landscape, though the resort valleys of Torgnon and Valtournenche are reached by road farther away.
