Beinette, a growing village between Cuneo and Mondovì

Beinette is a village on the plain around Cuneo, south-east of the town, on the road towards Mondovì. Behind it rise the Maritime Alps and the first hills of the valleys around Mondovì, while fields, orchards and livestock farms surround the centre. Cuneo is close enough to be the place of work, secondary school and hospital for many residents.

Unlike many villages in the province, its population is growing: in 2023 it had 3,498 inhabitants, up 9.3% on 2011, or 298 more people, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The newcomers are mainly families, and the figures show it: the average age is 43.4 against 46.3 in the province, and over-65s are 20.6%. Foreign residents are 9.7%.

The housing market reflects this growth, with detached houses and small blocks built in recent decades next to the houses of the old core and the farmsteads. For a newer property, ask for the energy rating and the paperwork for the systems; for an older one, the condition of the roof and walls.

The province of Cuneo has 247 municipalities, split between seismic zones 3 and 4. Beinette is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.108 g. It is a moderate value, but for houses built before the current rules it still justifies a few questions about the structure.

Winters are cold, climate zone E. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are available, and the report checks the official flood maps for the plain's watercourses at the address.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
