Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 plus an estimated €19,000 for light works, the effective cost is about €926/m², well above the €500/m² local comparison level. The property is described as being in good condition, but part of the 95 m² is commercial space and the town is 12 km from the sea, limiting the location premium.
More on the house and the area
A photogenic early-1900s village house with colorful façades, traditional shutters, wrought-iron balconies and a charming cobbled-street setting. The interiors appear solid, clean and immediately usable, with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, tiled floors and heating, though the style is plain and dated rather than especially atmospheric.
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 – €11,000
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.
- Energy class G and likely dated heating/insulation.
- Only one bathroom is shown for the residential portion.
- The ground-floor commercial space may be useful income, but separates part of the property from the home.
- No private garden or meaningful view is visible.
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.
