The €99,000 asking price looks attractive at €248/m² versus the local €504/m² benchmark, but a €700/m² renovation allowance raises the estimated all-in cost to about €948/m². The listing gives almost no information about condition or habitability and has only four photos, so the apparent discount is not yet reliable.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old Ligurian townhouse in a lush mountain setting, with traditional stone details, a balcony and attractive surrounding greenery. The roof appears intact and the structure is substantial, but the heavily deteriorated façades and lack of interior evidence make it a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€79,000 – €140,000
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 exterior is heavily weathered, with extensive peeling render, moss and likely substantial refurbishment needs.
- No interior photos are provided, so the kitchen, bathroom, utilities and actual livability cannot be verified.
- The 400 sqm size and multi-family layout may involve complex renovation, access or legal considerations.
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 63/100The cluster is in the inland valleys behind La Spezia, with wooded Apennine ridges and the Vara valley landscape within reach. The Vara river runs through this part of the province. The Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park is nearby in the lower Magra and Vara system. The nearest larger town is La Spezia, which has full services, a port and rail connections. This part of eastern Liguria is known for olive groves, chestnut woods and small stone villages in the folds between the coast and the Apennines. The Cinque Terre and the Gulf of La Spezia are nearby for day-to-day logistics, but they are outside the immediate inland landscape here.
