Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,320/m² before works, this is already far above the €516/m² local comparison level; with the condition unstated, a €700/m² renovation allowance makes the effective cost even less attractive. The historic-center setting, private garden, garage and pool add appeal, but the listing does not say whether the house is currently habitable or renovated.
More on the house and the area
A charming, well-kept pink country house in a lush hillside setting, with a rare private garden, garage, and nearby stream/natural pool. The exterior appears solid and usable rather than ruinous, but the lack of interior photos makes livability and finish quality impossible to confirm.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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.
- No interior photos, so the condition of the living spaces, kitchen, and bathroom is unverified.
- The steep hillside access and exterior stairs may be inconvenient.
- The stream, natural pool, and garden could bring maintenance or damp-related concerns.
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 Maritime Alps rise immediately inland, with steep olive-covered valleys and ridges above the Argentina valley. The Argentina river runs down to Taggia and the Ligurian coast. The nearest substantial town is Sanremo, which provides full services, a rail station, a marina and the main commercial centre of this part of western Liguria. The old hill villages of the Sanremo hinterland, including Ceriana, are known for olive cultivation and for dense medieval settlement patterns on narrow ridgelines above the coast.
