What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationFit to live in
€55,000 – €56,200
A family that wants a house with a past
Large families and patient restorers come first. Five bedrooms over three floors, a painted ceiling in the main salon, period doors and a garden with a rustico — this is a house with character, not a blank box, and that is what the money buys. It would carry a guesthouse: Gattinara's wine country is 18 minutes away, Ricetto di Candelo 28, and the station 18. It is not a second home for someone who wants to arrive and unpack.

Is it a good buy: About what similar houses cost
Cheap to buy, ordinary once finished: the work roughly doubles the price, and the house then costs about what similar Piedmont houses ask. The frescoed salon is the part no comparison captures.
- What you end up paying€94,500 – €119,600, house and work together
- If you rent it to holidaymakersabout €15,300 a year, if it is booked 90 nights at €170
- Years to earn that back6 to 8, and that is before tax, fees and upkeep
- How easily you could sell it againonly two houses are for sale in this village, so it would take time
Not ready to move into: a bedroom ceiling has come down and the bathroom is never clearly shown. What you get for the money is a 1908 house over three floors with a frescoed ceiling in the salon, terrazzo floors, wrought-iron balconies and a garden with an outbuilding. The work is real but ordinary: roof, heating, windows, render.

The area around
Location score 57/100The cluster sits in the low hills between the Biellese and the Sesia plain, in a farmed landscape of woods, fields and vineyards. The nearest named mountain backdrop is the Biellese pre-Alps to the north, but the village itself is outside the main alpine valleys. The area is known for the Bramaterra wine zone, with nebbiolo-based vineyards around Brusnengo, Masserano and Lessona. Masserano, a small historic town with a castle complex and old centre, is nearby. Biella is the nearest town of size, with full services and a substantial historic centre.
