What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€619/m²), the price is below the €765/m² baseline, but the house is currently uninhabitable and needs complete renovation. Adding an estimated €67,900 renovation cost produces an effective cost of about €1,319/m²; the baseline is also weak with only 26 comparables.
More on the house and the area
The Alpine setting is genuinely beautiful, with expansive mountain views from the long balconies and attractive traditional slate-roof surroundings. However, this is a renovation project rather than a ready home: the house has rooms, floors, a bathroom and kitchen, but is officially not currently habitable and needs substantial work.
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€19,000 – €34,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The property is explicitly described as currently uninhabitable and completely in need of renovation.
- The interiors are intact but very dated, with major modernization likely required.
- It sits directly beside a public road, so the mountain views come with some traffic and privacy trade-offs.
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 area is on the south-facing side of the central Aosta Valley with the Pennine Alps around it. The Dora Baltea runs along the main valley below. Verrayes is in the middle valley vineyard zone between Chambave and Saint-Denis, and this part of the valley is known for terraced vines and mountain hamlets. The Marmore waterfall above Châtillon is within the local area. Châtillon and Saint-Vincent are the nearest larger centres in the valley, with everyday shops, services and rail access at Châtillon-Saint-Vincent. Torgnon’s ski lifts are the nearest substantial local lifts, reached by mountain road in roughly half an hour from Verrayes.
