See what needs doing and what each job costs
215 m² farmhouse priced €59,900 but listed as “Needs renovation”: estimated renovation €700/m² (€150,500) yields an effective price ≈ €210,400 or ≈ €979/m² versus local median €260/m², so it is markedly overpriced. Also been on market 535 days (stale listing).
More on the house and the area
Nice, solid mid-century farmhouse with a photogenic façade, three balconies and clear panoramic views over the rolling Piedmont hills. Interior spaces are liveable but dated and require renovation and modernisation — excellent value for someone who wants a roomy, characterful home to upgrade.
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€43,000 – €76,000
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.

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 68/100The area sits in the vine-covered hills between the Belbo valley and the lower Monferrato/Langa edge, with continuous agricultural slopes and small hilltop villages. It is in the core wine country of the Asti and Moscato d'Asti zone, with vineyards as the dominant landscape. Nizza Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with a full small-town centre, shops and services, and Asti is the main city used for wider services and rail connections. This part of Piemonte is known for wine production, especially Moscato and other Monferrato wines. The vineyard landscapes of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato are the relevant UNESCO cultural landscape, though the strongest famous sectors are elsewhere in the wider area rather than immediately around the village.
