At €88,000 for 81 m² (€1,086/m²), the price is already well above the local €450/m² reference before accounting for the second-floor deposit’s conversion into living space. One apartment is in good maintenance, but the additional habitable area is only a potential upgrade and the listing does not state its legal or renovation costs.
More on the house and the area
A characterful stone-and-timber Alpine townhouse with traditional balconies and an exceptional mountain panorama. The main one-bedroom apartment appears genuinely usable, with a fitted kitchen, bathroom, heating, and finished interiors; the large upper floor is an unfinished opportunity rather than part of the ready-to-live-in space.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- The upper floor is currently a raw storage space and would require conversion before becoming living accommodation.
- Exterior balconies and some timber elements appear weathered and may need inspection or repair.
- Mountain-village access and the condition of the roof, structure, and utilities should be verified.
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 72/100The cluster sits in the central Aosta Valley with the Pennine Alps close around it and side valleys opening toward higher peaks. The Dora Baltea runs through the main valley. The area is known for terraced vineyards and Chambave wine production on the sunnier slopes above the valley floor. Saint-Vincent and Châtillon are the nearest larger centres in the valley and provide daily services, shops and rail access. The medieval castle of Fénis is within this part of the valley. Ski lifts are not in the immediate 15 km landscape, though the resort valleys of Torgnon and Valtournenche are reached by road farther away.
