Immediately habitable and furnished, with a renovated bathroom, large terrace, distinctive interiors and a central village location. At €1,097/m² asking, or roughly €1,300/m² including light upkeep, it is above the local €894/m² benchmark, though the terrace and Ligurian setting add value.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable and characterful village home centered around a large, sunny terrace, with attractive rooftop and church-tower views. The vaulted interiors, traditional details, colorful shutters, and ready-to-use kitchen and bathroom make this a real home rather than a renovation project; its main limitation is the compact, somewhat enclosed setting.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Pedestrian-access village setting; only small vehicles can apparently reach the property for loading and unloading.
- The terrace is surrounded by neighboring roofs and railings rather than open countryside or sea views.
- The kitchen is compact and utilitarian, despite the home being furnished and immediately usable.
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 72/100The Maritime Alps rise immediately inland, with steep olive-covered valleys and ridges above the Argentina valley. The Argentina river runs down to Taggia and the Ligurian coast. The nearest substantial town is Sanremo, which provides full services, a rail station, a marina and the main commercial centre of this part of western Liguria. The old hill villages of the Sanremo hinterland, including Ceriana, are known for olive cultivation and for dense medieval settlement patterns on narrow ridgelines above the coast.
