At €85,000 (€1,000/m²), this habitable 85 m² apartment is slightly above the local €890/m² benchmark, but it offers a terrace, panoramic setting, heating and a fireplace in Taggia, just 3 km from the sea. The two-level historic-center layout and 29 photos support a sound, livable purchase rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable historic-home apartment with a warm, characterful interior, extensive wood ceilings, an unusual spiral staircase, and a striking arched fireplace. The covered terrace adds useful outdoor living space, although the photos do not prove a dramatic open view despite the panoramic-view claim.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€6,000 – €9,000
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 spiral staircase may be inconvenient for everyday use.
- The covered terrace appears enclosed and somewhat utilitarian rather than panoramic.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a two-bedroom, two-level apartment.
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 71/100The Maritime Alps rise immediately inland above the lower Argentina valley. The Argentina river reaches the sea at Arma di Taggia. The nearest substantial town is Sanremo, which has full services, a marina and rail connections. This stretch of the Riviera di Ponente is known for olive cultivation, especially Taggiasca olives, and for a built coastal strip backed very quickly by steep inland valleys.
