At €43,000 (€281/m²), the purchase price is well below comparable Ligurian stock, but the property is completely to restore: estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,381/m², far above the €500/m² benchmark. The 1,000 m² plot, terrace and parking add appeal, but this is a major recovery project rather than a ready home.
More on the house and the area
This traditional Ligurian borgata house has a genuinely beautiful mountain-valley outlook, a large surrounding plot, terrace and strong old-village character. The interiors are currently usable, with a fitted kitchen and bathrooms, but the property is clearly a major renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€61,000 – €90,000
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 listing explicitly says the property is completely to be renovated, despite the existing kitchen and bathrooms.
- Visible roof, masonry, stairs, dampness and exterior surfaces suggest substantial structural and technical work.
- Access is through steep, narrow village lanes and the home is spread over multiple levels.
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 52/100The Ligurian Apennines rise immediately inland, with wooded ridges and short valleys behind the coast. The area is tied to the Quiliano and Quazzola streams and sits a few kilometres from the Ligurian Sea around Savona and Vado Ligure. The Beigua massif and Beigua Regional Nature Park lie to the east, but outside the core 15 km landscape. Savona is the nearest town of size, with port functions, services, rail links and a historic centre around the Priamar fortress. Vado Ligure adds a commercial and industrial port on the nearby coast. The area is known locally for olive groves on the lower slopes and for the mixed coastal-hill setting typical of western Liguria.
