Buy Property in Cuneo, Piedmont: Prices and Tips

Cuneo is a provincial capital with arcaded streets, a large market square and a relaxed pace. Mountains rise to the south and west, with ski resorts and hiking in the Alpi Marittime and Valle Stura, while the Langhe wine hills lie to the north-east. The Ligurian coast is reachable over mountain roads or by rail, and the Colle di Tenda tunnel connects towards France. Turin is the main hub for airports and major rail links. Buyers are typically lifestyle buyers wanting mountain access, outdoor enthusiasts and investors looking for low-priced stock.

On the coast beyond the mountains you can compare Sanremo, Imperia and Bordighera, or inland Turin and Asti.

Foreigners can buy, subject to reciprocity for non-EU citizens, and need a codice fiscale. The notary prepares the deed; registration tax is approx. 9% of cadastral value for a second home or 2% for a main residence, plus notary and agent fees. On old mountain properties, have a surveyor check structural condition, heating and planning compliance. Winter access and snow loads on roofs deserve attention.
