Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €15/m², the asking price is far below the Liguria townhouse benchmark of €506/m², but the unusually large 1,517 m² figure and rural mix of house, hayloft, woodshed and land make the true habitable area unclear. The listing does not state the condition, room count, or legal status of all structures, so substantial renovation and verification costs should be expected.
More on the house and the area
A genuine mountain farmhouse in a wooded Ligurian valley, with extensive grounds, stone construction, exposed beams, a traditional fireplace and attractive rustic character. The main living areas look functional rather than derelict, but the property is cluttered and the barns, sheds and surrounding areas need significant cleanup and renovation.
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€300,000 – €532,000
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 main house appears usable, but the property is cluttered and several outbuildings need substantial work.
- Bathroom provision and full utility status are unclear from the listing.
- Rural gravel access and extensive land/outbuildings may require ongoing maintenance.
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 lies in the inland hills between the Bormida valley and the Ligurian Apennines. The Bormida di Pallare runs through the area. The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri crosses the ridge country nearby, and the regional park of Bric Tana is at Millesimo. The nearest substantial town is Cairo Montenotte, which has the main services of the upper Val Bormida; Savona on the coast is the nearest larger city. This part of inland Savona is known for wooded ridges, small valley villages and mixed chestnut and beech country rather than for a single landmark.
