€85,000 for 170 m² = €500/m²; assuming a modest €200/m² renovation yields an effective €700/m² vs the regional median of €400/m², so it sits well above typical stock. The listing shows energy class F and does not state the property's condition.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, lived-in Piemonte country house with characterful stone outbuildings and a private courtyard/garden — most living rooms, bedrooms and two bathrooms are ready to use. The big attached barn/covered areas are unfinished and need work, so this is a charming, practical home with a renovation project attached rather than a turnkey dream house.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- Large attached barn/portico is an unfinished/partially open structure and will need renovation and structural checks.
- Interiors are dated — cosmetic updates (kitchen, bathrooms, floors) likely required to modernize.
- Only two bathrooms for a house advertised with many bedrooms — check layout and services for family use.
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 61/100The area sits in the hills of the Alto Monferrato, with vineyard slopes, mixed woodland and small ridges around the Bormida valley. The Bormida river runs nearby, and Acqui Terme is the nearest larger town, with shops, services and its Roman thermal remains. This part of Monferrato is known for wine, especially Brachetto and Moscato in the wider Acquese hills.
