The €99,000 price equals €892/m², well above the €504/m² local benchmark; allowing roughly €22,200 for habitable-condition upgrades puts the effective cost near €1,092/m². The 3 km distance from the sea, terraces, cellar, garage access and private parking add value, but the premium and energy class G keep this from being a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Ligurian village house with attractive terracotta terraces, wrought-iron details, arched interiors, shutters, and a green mountain setting. The kitchen and bathroom are functional, the roof and finishes appear sound, and the property needs decluttering and cosmetic refresh rather than major renovation. Its near-sea location and usable outdoor space make it a strong dream-home candidate, although privacy and access are limited.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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 home is spread over multiple levels with several exterior staircases, which may be inconvenient for some buyers.
- Energy class G and pellet-stove heating suggest potentially high running costs or future upgrades.
- Interiors are very cluttered in places, and the outdoor areas appear closely overlooked by neighboring homes.
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 cluster is in the lower valley of the Centa, between the Ligurian Sea and the first ridges of the Ligurian Alps. The coast at Albenga and the mouth of the Centa are within the 15 km area. The western end of the Riviera di Ponente begins here, with a broad coastal plain at Albenga and headlands and inlets toward Alassio and Ceriale. The nearest substantial town is Albenga, which has a walled historic centre with medieval towers, a cathedral and Roman remains including the Via Iulia Augusta and the nearby Romanesque baptistery. Albenga is known for market gardening on the plain and for the historic island of Gallinara just off the coast.
