At €79,000 for 115 m², this habitable apartment has an estimated all-in cost of about €102,000, or €887/m²—roughly in line with comparable Ligurian stock. The panoramic views, terrace, balcony, fireplace, cellar and independent heating add appeal, although the 11 km distance from the sea limits the location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable mountain home with a beautiful misty valley setting, productive fruit trees, and a very appealing large covered terrace. The interior is practical and lived-in, with a working kitchen, bathroom, heating, fireplace, and two bedrooms, though the finishes are dated rather than characterful or luxurious.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated and visually ordinary.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 115 sqm, five-room home.
- Confirm that the orchard/garden areas and terrace are legally included, and check access and proximity to the power lines.
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 area sits in the Ligurian Apennines, in the upper Fontanabuona valley system. The Lavagna basin and its wooded ridges are the main landscape within the immediate area. Portofino Regional Natural Park is nearby on the coast side but not within the core 15 km landscape. The nearest larger town is Genoa, which provides the full city services and major rail links. The area is known for inland Ligurian valleys of chestnut woods, scattered hamlets and slate-working country tied to the Fontanabuona.
