Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,087/m², the estimated effective cost is about €1,287/m² after a modest €200/m² allowance, well above the local €900/m² benchmark. The balcony, garden and location 6 km from the sea add appeal, but the condition is not stated and energy class G increases uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
A bright, fully furnished and usable apartment with a genuinely attractive mountain-and-village view, balcony, and access to a leafy garden near the Ligurian coast. The home is solid and move-in ready, but its dated finishes, ordinary apartment-block setting, and energy class G keep it below dream-home territory.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Clearly livable but dated interiors and furnishings may need cosmetic updating.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating costs and future efficiency work.
- The garden appears communal rather than private; verify condominium costs and ownership of outdoor areas.
- Older apartment building and balconies should be checked for maintenance condition.
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 62/100The cluster lies in the inland hills between the lower Vara valley and the Magra side of eastern Liguria, with the Ligurian Apennines close by. The Vara river runs through this part of the province. The Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park is nearby on the lower Magra side. The nearest large town is La Spezia, which has the main rail station, port, services and a full range of shops. This part of eastern Liguria is known for wooded valleys, small ridge villages and access routes between La Spezia and the inland Apennine passes.
