At €1,111/m², the €100,000 asking price is more than double the local comparison level of €516/m², even allowing for the house’s good condition and modest renovation allowance. The Ligurian setting and terrace add appeal, but the rural hamlet is about 6 km from the sea and does not justify this premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely charming, move-in-ready Ligurian village home with warm wood-beamed ceilings, exposed stone details, a fireplace, and a practical kitchen and bathroom. Mountain views, a large terrace, and the proximity to the sea add real lifestyle appeal, while the interiors appear well maintained rather than project-like.
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 – €10,000
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.
- Energy class G suggests higher running costs and possible future efficiency work.
- The home is spread over three levels, with an external stair connection and only one bathroom.
- The mountain setting is beautiful, but the property is in a quiet rural borgo rather than directly on the coast.
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 70/100Located on the inland slope above the Gulf of Tigullio on the Ligurian coast. The surrounding uplands are part of the Ligurian Apennines; Val Graveglia is the local valley network intersecting the area. The nearest sizeable coastal towns are Sestri Levante and Chiavari, both on the Genoa–La Spezia railway with shops, services and beaches (Sestri Levante has the Baia del Silenzio). The area sits within the Riviera di Levante economic and touristic zone and has land use that includes small-scale agriculture and wooded slopes. Genoa (regional capital, port and airport) lies along the coast to the west and is the main urban centre for higher-level services and transport connections.
