At €23,000 (€354/m²), the asking price is below the local €524/m² benchmark, but the required interior renovation at roughly €700/m² brings the estimated all-in cost to about €68,500 (€1,054/m²). The inland village location, 15 km from the sea, and energy class G limit the upside.
More on the house and the area
A charming Ligurian village house with a sunny facade, traditional shutters, balcony, garage and attractive mountain views down the street. It is a genuine multi-level home with bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and usable floors, but the interiors need substantial renovation rather than simple decorating.
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€13,000 – €23,000
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.
- Interior renovation is clearly needed, including demolition, finishes, kitchen and bathroom updates.
- The home appears dated and may have damp or old electrical/plumbing systems; these require inspection.
- No private garden is shown, and the property is in a compact village setting.
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 68/100The cluster is in the low Ligurian Alps and upper Impero valley, with wooded slopes, olive terraces and narrow valleys. The Impero river runs through Borgomaro and the valley continues down toward Imperia. The nearest coast is the Riviera dei Fiori around Imperia, about 13 km away, but it is outside the immediate inland landscape and does not raise the score. Imperia is the nearest town of size, with full services, a port and rail access. This part of western Liguria is known for Taggiasca olives and olive oil.
