At an estimated all-in cost of about €46,012, or €639/m² after light habitable-home costs, this is roughly 29% below the local €900/m² benchmark. The Genova location is only 1 km from the sea, with autonomous heating and 32 photos; the listing does not say how many bathrooms there are.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
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 55/100Hills and ridges of the Ligurian Apennines (including Monte Fasce to the NE and Monte Gazzo to the W) rise immediately inland within the 15 km radius. The cluster sits on the Gulf of Genoa on the Ligurian Sea, with a major port and an extended seafront (Porto Antico, promenades and harbour infrastructure) within walking or short driving distance. There are no regional or national parks wholly inside a 15 km radius of central Genova. No ski lifts are within 15 km; ski areas in the Apennines lie further inland. The city of Genova (population ~564,080) is the provincial and regional hub with an international airport (Aeroporto Cristoforo Colombo, Sestri Ponente), major railway stations (Genova Piazza Principe and Genova Brignole), ferry terminals with regular connections to Corsica, Sardinia and other Tyrrhenian ports, university faculties, hospitals and multiple maritime and civic museums. The historic centre of Genova contains the Palazzi dei Rolli, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The immediate surrounding landscape is urban fabric built into steep, terraced coastal hills and narrow valleys, with remaining olive- and vineyard terraces on some slopes and industrial/port zones along the shoreline.
