The €27,000 asking price is attractive, but allowing about €200/m² for a likely habitable home puts the effective cost near €615/m², above the €500 local benchmark. Independent access, a terrace, and 26 photos help, while energy class G, the inland location, and the unstated condition limit the upside.
More on the house and the area
A cheerful, genuinely livable Ligurian townhouse with a colorful shuttered facade, wrought-iron details, independent entrances and a practical stone-paved terrace for outdoor meals. The interior is furnished and functional, with two bedrooms, a bathroom, heating and a real kitchen/living area, though the decor and bathroom are dated and there is no notable open view.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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 would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating costs.
- No dedicated parking is shown; the house is tightly surrounded by neighboring buildings.
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 is in the Ligurian Apennines, in the upper Scrivia valley and side valleys between wooded ridges. The Scrivia river runs through the area, and the Val Noci reservoir lies nearby at Montoggio. The immediate landscape is inland hill and lower-mountain country with chestnut and mixed woodland rather than coast. Genoa is the nearest major city, with full services, port and rail connections. This part of inland Genoa is known for small Apennine villages and for access from the city into the interior valleys.
