See what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €69,000 but likely needs full interior renovation (I estimate €700/m²) so total cost ≈ €209,000 or ≈ €1,045/m² versus Piemonte baseline €260/m², making it far above typical market value; the listing does not state interior condition, bathrooms or services.
More on the house and the area
Classic Piedmont cascinale with a recently redone roof, broad private yard and a gorgeous open view over vine-covered hills. The house is structurally sound and already floored/plastered in places, so it’s a realistic, affordable renovation to a lovely hilltop home — the large brick portico/attic add charm but need work to convert to usable space.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.
- Interior photos show basic, dated rooms — likely needs kitchen/bathroom upgrades and cosmetic work.
- Large open brick portico/attic are structurally attractive but will require adaptation/repair for living use.
- Confirm utilities/heating and any permitted conversions for the barn/attic 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 76/100Corneliano d'Alba sits in the Roero hills, with a landscape of vine-covered ridges, orchards and small wooded sections between the Tanaro plain and the first Langhe hills. The Tanaro river runs nearby below Alba. The nearest town of size is Alba, which has a substantial historic centre, rail links, services and the white truffle fair for which it is known. Bra is also close, with a larger town centre and services. This is wine country, known for Roero wines and for the wider food-and-wine culture shared with Alba and the Langhe.
