At €48,000 (€615/m²), this habitable 78 m² detached house benefits from autonomous heating, a balcony and panoramic views. Allowing about €15,600 for light works brings the effective cost to roughly €815/m², above the €692/m² local comparison level, so it is reasonably priced but not a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable mountain home with a spectacular Valle d’Aosta panorama, balconies, working kitchen, bathroom, heating, and finished bedrooms. The interiors are clean and usable, though basic, while the exterior is rough and stair access is demanding. At €48,000 for 78 sqm, the view and livability make it a compelling bargain.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Access is via numerous steep outdoor steps, with no obvious car access at the house.
- The exterior, balconies, retaining walls, and ancillary structures look dated and would benefit from maintenance.
- The mountain outlook is excellent, but the interiors are practical rather than especially characterful.
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 74/100The cluster sits in the central Aosta Valley with the Pennine Alps around it and steep valley sides rising directly from the Dora Baltea. The Dora Baltea runs through the valley floor here. Mont Avic Natural Park lies just to the south-east, with side valleys leading up toward Champorcher. The nearest ski lifts are in the Champorcher area, roughly 30–40 minutes by road, and larger lift systems are farther west in the main valley. The nearest larger town is Aosta, which has the full range of services and a major Roman historic centre. The valley around Montjovet is known for castles and fortified sites, including the Bard area farther down-valley, and for vineyard terraces on the sunnier slopes.
