Well, as nobody has posted, I'll give my response as a non-resident. (I have a holiday property in Piemonte). 

Piemonte is a large (to Brits) area with differing characteristics.   There are mountainous areas, (north and west), beautiful lake areas such as Maggiore and Orta, and lots of flatter areas.  You really need to focus in on possible areas to live - weather varies across the region  so you need to get statistics online for specific areas. 

Also, if you want to 'do the woodcraft shop" thing, perhaps you need the touristy areas such as the West Side of Maggiore or the east side of Orta.  You'd probably need to live a bit away from your shop because of property prices and space availability.

Good luck with your search

Only thing you now need driving down is the Covid Pass for entry to France  (and possibly Italy)

My place - used about 10 weeks a year, costs approx €600 for Council Tax and €180 for the TARI  Rubbish Tax.

For the TARI I get collections of rubbish bags,  four or 5 times a week from the front gate  

  •   Monday - metal cans etc
  •   Tuesday - Paper
  •   Wednesday  - plastics
  •   Thursday  - Non-recyclable 
  •   Friday  - kitchen waste  (2 days a week in Summer)

We live in a small 'hamlet' of approx 20 houses, down a narrow road.  Collection is by a one man mini tipper truck which returns to a central area and tips its load into a "normal sized" rubbish lorry. This system of mini tipper operates throughout the commune area, even in the ,town', because of narrow streets
