What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 (€211/m²), the price looks low, but the three-storey 370 m² building is explicitly to be renovated; estimated total cost brings it to about €337,000, or €911/m², well above the local €524/m² benchmark. One apartment is renovated and the property has strong period features, but the scale and multi-family layout make this a substantial project.
More on the house and the area
A striking early-20th-century Ligurian palazzotto with ornate façades, flower-filled terraces, original shutters, grand doors, and exceptionally beautiful Genoese mosaic floors. It is a real, substantial home rather than a ruin, with one finely renovated apartment ready to live in, but much of the 370 sqm building still needs significant restoration. At €78,000, the historic character and multi-unit potential create an unusually strong bargain.
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€73,000 – €130,000
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 building is explicitly described as needing renovation, with several apartments requiring substantial work.
- Only the second-floor apartment is described as finely renovated and immediately usable.
- The property is very large and divided into multiple units, so restoration and ongoing maintenance could be extensive.
- The attic is usable but not legally habitable.
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 61/100The cluster is in the Scrivia valley in the Ligurian Apennines, with wooded ridges and passes around the valley floor. The Scrivia river runs through the area. The Parco Naturale Regionale dell'Antola lies nearby in the upper valleys to the east, centred on Monte Antola. The nearest larger town is Genova, which provides the full range of city services and rail connections. This part of inland Genoa is known for Apennine valley settlements and road and rail routes crossing between Liguria and the Po plain.
