Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €74,000 for 42 m², the estimated effective cost is about €1,962/m² after allowing for light finishing work, versus a local benchmark of €892/m². The apartment appears usable and has 20 photos, but the listing does not state its condition, energy rating, or construction year, while its location is 7 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A bright, clean, fully furnished apartment with a playful seaside-themed interior, blue accent wall, functioning kitchen, air conditioning, and a usable bathroom. It appears genuinely move-in ready and is a credible low-cost home or holiday base near the Ligurian coast, though it lacks views, outdoor space, and distinctive Italian architectural character.
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.
- Very compact 42 sqm apartment with a narrow, windowless bathroom.
- Ground-floor location and limited outlook; no garden, terrace, or notable historic character.
- The kitchen/living area is functional but somewhat cramped and dated in presentation.
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 73/100The area sits in the lower Magra valley between the Ligurian Apennine foothills and the Gulf of La Spezia. The Magra river is the main watercourse nearby, and the Ligurian coast is a few kilometres away at La Spezia and Lerici. The Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park extends across the mouth of the Magra and the Vara and Magra valley landscape is part of daily surroundings here. La Spezia is the nearest town of size, with a port, rail links and full services. Lerici and Tellaro on the gulf are close coastal centres, and Portovenere and the Cinque Terre are reachable farther south-west but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for the river plain, olive-covered slopes and the transition between inland Lunigiana and the Gulf of La Spezia.
