At €25,000 (€167/m²), the price looks low, but the former olive mill and storage spaces require major restoration, and only the upper level is described as potentially convertible into a dwelling. Using an estimated €1,100/m² renovation cost, the effective cost is about €1,267/m² versus €454/m² for comparable Ligurian homes; the listing also gives approximately 200 m² versus 150 m² in the property data and has no vehicle access.
More on the house and the area
The property has compelling Ligurian historic character, with exposed stone, vaulted rooms and an original olive press and millstone in the old village center. However, the interiors are largely unfinished storage/mill spaces rather than a usable home, so its beauty is mainly its architectural potential and unusual history.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €88,000
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.
- This is a substantial restoration project, not a move-in home: many areas are raw, dark, cluttered and lack finished residential services.
- The former olive mill has no car access and is reached through narrow village lanes.
- The description says conversion into a dwelling may be possible, but planning approval, utilities, structural condition and renovation costs need careful verification.
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 58/100The cluster lies in the inland valleys behind Imperia, in olive-growing hills cut by small streams, with the Ligurian Alps rising further north. The nearest coast is the Riviera di Ponente around Imperia, about 12 km away, which matters for services and daily movement but is outside the immediate inland landscape. Imperia is the nearest town of size, with full everyday services, a port and rail connections. This part of western Liguria is known for Taggiasca olives and olive oil.
