Listing price €60,000 for 211 m² = €284/m², above the regional baseline €196/m². Estimated renovation ~€700/m² → ~€147,700 work, effective price ≈€207,700 (~€984/m²), so this is an expensive restoration; the listing does not state the building condition or year.
More on the house and the area
Amazing Lake Orta view, handsome stone bones and a seemingly renewed roof/roof structure with original beams; the exterior, courtyard and garden are very attractive. The interiors are a mix of charming historic spaces and raw shell rooms that need substantial renovation, but at €60k this is a real renovation opportunity with strong curb appeal.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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 parts of the interior are unfinished or in need of major refurbishment (bare stone rooms, concrete floors).
- Some rooms and the bathroom are dated and will require new plumbing/electrical work and new floors.
- Access is on narrow village streets and there are multiple connected buildings — expect renovation complexity and permits.
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 85/100The cluster sits on the eastern shore of Lake Orta; Isola San Giulio lies directly offshore. The area is in the pre-Alpine lake district; Mottarone (peak ~1,491 m) and its slopes are within the roughly 15 km radius. Ferry and boat services operate on Lake Orta connecting the lakeside villages. Nearest town of size is Omegna at the northern end of the lake, with shops, weekly markets and local light industry (kitchenware and metalworking firms have long been based in the Omegna area). Nearest ski lifts are on Mottarone, a roughly 25–35 minute drive depending on route.
