See what needs doing and what each job costs
250 m² townhome at €88,000 requires complete restoration (~€1,100/m² → renovation ≈ €275,000) so effective cost ≈ €363,000 (~€1,452/m²), well above the regional median €349/m². Good central location and rare flat garden with 36 photos are positives, but the listing omits condition/year/energy details and needs full refurbishment.
More on the house and the area
Lovely, characterful mountain townhouse with a long covered terrace, tall stone barn spaces and a rare flat fruit garden — great for a family home or B&B. The building is solid and roofed but needs a full renovation and installation of modern services before it becomes a comfortable lived-in house.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€99,000 – €146,000
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.
- Complete renovation required (kitchen, bathrooms, finishes).
- Visible wall cracks/patches and old roof timbers — structural inspection advised.
- No modern bathrooms shown; some spaces are storage/garage rather than finished living rooms.
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 86/100The Maritime Alps rise directly around Valdieri, with the upper Gesso valley immediately at hand. The Gesso river runs through the area. Much of the surrounding mountain landscape falls within the Parco Naturale delle Alpi Marittime, one of the main protected alpine areas in Piedmont, linked to the Mercantour on the French side. The Terme di Valdieri and Entracque are the main nearby centres in the valley; Cuneo is the nearest larger town with full services. The nearest ski lifts are at Entracque/Pesan and Limone Piemonte, reached by mountain road in roughly 20 to 40 minutes depending on the base. The area is known for alpine hiking, high valleys, wildlife including ibex and chamois, and the former Savoy hunting lodges in the upper valley.
