See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €90,000 price is €643/m², already above the local €516/m² benchmark, and the house is completely to renovate. At roughly €154,000 in renovation costs, the effective total is about €244,000 before addressing the external bathroom; the 21,000 m² olive-grove estate adds value but does not offset the heavy works.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine rural character: stone walls, old timber roofs, a vine-covered garden, outdoor oven and barbecue, and broad wooded-hill views. However, it is a substantial renovation project rather than a mostly usable home, with cramped dated rooms, storage-filled outbuildings, and the bathroom outside; the 21,000 sqm of land is the main dream factor.
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€55,000 – €82,000
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 property is explicitly completely to renovate, with very dated and cluttered interiors.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed, and it is located outside in the cellar area.
- Roof, electrical systems, plumbing, insulation, and structural condition require professional 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 55/100The cluster lies in the Bormida valley in the inland Ligurian hills, with low Apennine ridges and mixed woods around the settled valley floor. The Bormida di Spigno runs through this area. The nearest larger town in daily use is Cairo Montenotte, which has the main services, shops and rail connections for this part of the valley. Savona and the Ligurian coast are farther away and matter more for logistics than for the immediate landscape. This part of inland western Liguria is known for wooded hills, small valley villages and routes crossing from Liguria into southern Piedmont.
