Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 (€778/m²), the asking price is about 13% below comparable Ligurian apartments, with parking and a central location. The listing does not state the condition, so allowing roughly €200/m² for updates brings the effective cost near €978/m², making this a reasonable rather than exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable, furnished apartment with a bright bedroom, full kitchen, bathroom, and a long balcony overlooking leafy greenery. It is charming mainly for its livability and very low €35,000 price, not for architectural character or spectacular views; the finishes are dated but appear serviceable.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Interiors are functional but visibly dated, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
- The balcony overlooks nearby buildings and greenery rather than offering a wide scenic view.
- Only 45 sqm with one bedroom; confirm heating, condominium fees, and parking arrangements.
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 Ligurian Alps, on the wooded upper Bormida valley near Colle del Melogno. The Bormida di Millesimo runs through this part of the valley. The area lies by the Bric Tana regional natural reserve near Millesimo, known for karst caves and limestone outcrops. The nearest ski area is the small lifts of Garessio 2000, roughly an hour away by road, which is outside the immediate landscape. Finale Ligure and the Riviera are reachable over the Melogno pass, but the coast is outside the 15 km radius and does not affect the score. Millesimo is the nearest small town of note, with a medieval core and castle remains. This part of inland western Liguria is known for forests, chestnuts, mushrooms and cool upland valleys rather than for a single landmark.
