Recently refreshed and described as ready to move into, with 92 m² at €87,000 (€946/m²), but the estimated effective cost is about €996/m²—roughly 11% above the local comparison level. The central location, sea access, independent heating, and 34 photos support the price, although the listing does not say the building year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
A bright, polished 92 sqm apartment with a stylish open-plan living space, modern kitchen, attractive terracotta-style flooring, and a fully finished bathroom. The cityscape view gives it a real Ligurian urban character, while the €87,000 price is compelling for a move-in-ready home. It lacks historic charm, outdoor space, and an elevator, but it is clearly a practical, immediately livable property rather than a renovation project.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €50/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€2,000 – €3,000
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.
- Apartment is in a central urban setting rather than a scenic rural or coastal location.
- The building has no elevator.
- Only one bedroom and one bathroom are shown; confirm the potential second-bath conversion and monthly building costs.
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.
