Asking €80,000 for 60 m² = €1,333/m², well above the local median of €413/m²; assuming a modest €200/m² refresh (~€12,000) gives an effective ~€1,533/m². Description says the two levels are already usable and photos (44) are good, but key technical data (energy class, year, exact condition) are missing, so the price looks high for the area.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely dreamy mountain-lake setting and picture-postcard borgata streets make this a very photogenic, characterful home. The house itself is roofed, furnished and clearly habitable with only light updating needed — a real move-in/refresh opportunity rather than a project.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Compact 60 m² — small living space
- Interior is dated and needs cosmetic updating
- Limited parking/access typical of historic borgata streets
- Some exterior plaster shows wear
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 77/100The cluster is in the upper Val Chisone in the Cottian Alps. The Chisone runs through the valley. The Orsiera-Rocciavrè Natural Park lies just to the east of this part of the valley. The nearest ski lifts are at Pragelato and Sestriere, roughly 20–35 minutes by road depending on the hamlet. Pinerolo is the nearest larger town, with rail links, hospitals and full services. Usseaux is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. This area is known for alpine villages, larch woods, high pastures and the road access toward the Assietta ridge and the Fenestrelle side valleys.
