At €98,000, estimated total cost including modest habitable-home work is about €116,000, or €1,289/m²—far above the local comparison level of €462/m². The home has useful features such as a garage, terrace and heating, but the asking price is not compelling for this market.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Ligurian village house with multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms, a functioning kitchen, heating, garage, and several outdoor spaces. The large roof terrace delivers an excellent mountain-and-rooftop panorama, while the surrounding stone-and-tile village and church create strong historic character. Interiors are bright and usable but decorated and fitted in an older, fairly plain style rather than being immediately dreamlike.
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.
- Interiors are habitable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The garden/patio areas appear modest, while the main outdoor appeal is the large panoramic terrace.
- Confirm the condition and usability of the roof terrace, garage access, and building systems.
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.
