In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000, the estimated all-in cost is about €94,000, or €752/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable property. That is roughly 50% above comparable local stock at €500/m²; the balcony, heating and 28 photos help, but the 12 km distance from the sea offers limited location premium.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable village townhouse with multiple balconies overlooking a charming cobbled center and an ornate historic church facade. The home is solid, heated, floored, and equipped with a kitchen and bathroom, though the interiors are plain and dated rather than romantic or luxurious. At €69,000 for 125 sqm, its character and central Ligurian setting create strong dream-home appeal.
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 – €14,000
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.
- The ground floor appears to be a commercial space, so the residential layout and income potential need clarification.
- Interiors are clean and usable but dated, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
- The covered balconies and exterior facade show age and may need maintenance; there is no private garden.
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 Ligurian Apennines above the Bormida valley, in a landscape of wooded ridges and small valley settlements. The Bormida di Pallare runs nearby. The area falls within the Adelasia regional nature reserve, known for beech and chestnut woods and old charcoal-making landscapes. The nearest larger town is Cairo Montenotte, which has the main everyday services and rail connections in the upper Bormida valley. Savona and the Ligurian coast are beyond the hills and matter for access, but they are outside the immediate landscape. This part of inland Savona is known for forested uplands, scattered hamlets and the old route between the coast and Piedmont.
