At €90,000 (€588/m²), the property is already above the local €506/m² benchmark before the radical renovation, estimated at about €1,100/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,688/m². The garden and location 4 km from the sea are positives, but they do not offset the extensive work required; the listing does not state the building year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, spacious house surrounded by mature olive trees, with a large outdoor terrace, barbecue area, and a peaceful green setting. The fireplace, shutters, and traditional furnishings add some Italian character, but the home is not move-in ready: it is a dated, maintenance-heavy property requiring substantial renovation rather than a finished dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€61,000 – €90,000
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 listing explicitly calls for a radical renovation, despite the house being roofed and currently fitted with kitchens and bathrooms.
- Visible damp/staining appears on the bathroom ceiling and several exterior surfaces need maintenance.
- The interiors are functional but dated, with basic finishes and older fixtures.
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 73/100The area sits in the lower Magra valley between the Ligurian Apennine foothills and the Gulf of La Spezia. The Magra river is the main watercourse nearby, and the Ligurian coast is a few kilometres away at La Spezia and Lerici. The Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park extends across the mouth of the Magra and the Vara and Magra valley landscape is part of daily surroundings here. La Spezia is the nearest town of size, with a port, rail links and full services. Lerici and Tellaro on the gulf are close coastal centres, and Portovenere and the Cinque Terre are reachable farther south-west but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for the river plain, olive-covered slopes and the transition between inland Lunigiana and the Gulf of La Spezia.
