Why this price is what it is

At €80,000 plus roughly €12,800 for minor refurbishment, the effective cost is about €1,450/m², far above the local comparison level of €516/m². The 2 km sea access and proximity to Lerici add value, but the listing contradicts its garden tag by stating there is no garden, and it does not specify the condition or energy performance.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is a compact, independent Ligurian house with a pleasant painted exterior, green hillside surroundings, and a practical one-level layout. The main rooms have finished floors, a functioning bathroom, heating, and electrical systems, but the interiors are utilitarian rather than characterful. It feels livable after refreshment, while the rough, damp cellar spaces will need attention.

Updating, not renovation
€13,000 – €18,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • The main living level appears usable but plain and somewhat dated.
  • The lower cellar/storage areas show significant dampness, exposed masonry, and deterioration.
  • No kitchen is shown, and there is no clearly private garden or notable view.

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 72/100

The cluster sits on the lower Magra valley near the Ligurian coast, with the Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park within the area around the river mouth and the low hills above it. The Magra River is the main natural feature here, with the Ligurian Sea and the Gulf of La Spezia a few kilometres away. The nearest town of size is La Spezia, which has a full range of services, a railway junction and port facilities. Lerici and the villages around the east side of the gulf are nearby, and Tellaro is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. This part of eastern Liguria is known for the transition from river plain to olive and vineyard hills at the edge of the gulf, and for access to the Poets' Gulf coast.
