What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €5,000 (€91/m²), the price is exceptionally low, but the 55 m² rustico is completely to restore: estimated total cost is about €65,500, or €1,191/m² before permits and unforeseen work, well above the local €454/m² benchmark. The remote inland location and unclear legal/building details reduce confidence despite the garden and 14 photos.
More on the house and the area
The stone farmhouse has genuine rustic character, a dramatic overgrown exterior, a private garden, and a beautiful wooded Ligurian hillside setting. However, it is explicitly a complete renovation project, with no livable interior shown and vegetation obscuring much of the structure; the €5,000 price is compelling mainly as a restoration gamble, not as a home you can currently live in.
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€22,000 – €32,000
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.
- Complete renovation required; the interior is not shown and the property appears heavily overgrown.
- No evidence of a usable kitchen, bathroom, utilities, or habitable interior.
- Access, structural condition, roof, and renovation permissions should be checked carefully.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the inland valleys behind the eastern Ligurian coast, in the Apennine relief between the Val di Vara and the ridge country that leads toward the Cinque Terre. The Vara river valley is the main landscape feature in this part of the province. The Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park lies downstream toward the lower Vara and Magra. Levanto is the nearest coastal town of size, and La Spezia is the main city in the province with rail links, port services and full urban amenities. The Cinque Terre are on the same side of Liguria but outside the 15 km landscape around Sesta Godano. This part of the Vara valley is known for wooded hills, scattered hamlets and small-scale farming.
