At €49,000 for 51 m², unfinished renovation could add roughly €35,700, bringing the effective cost to about €1,661/m² versus the local €500/m² reference. The 1,000 m² of land, parking, and accessory warehouse add value, but the property remains expensive for a partially renovated 7 km-from-the-sea townhouse.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful Ligurian townhouse with traditional tiled roofs, stone details, a rustic green door, and a wooded hillside setting. However, the interior is an active renovation site rather than a usable home, with unfinished services, bare floors, and incomplete finishes, so the appeal is mainly as a project with outdoor potential.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €18,000
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.
- Major renovation is still unfinished, with exposed plumbing/electrical runs and incomplete rooms.
- The home is not visibly move-in ready; kitchen and bathroom completion, flooring, fixtures, and final finishes are needed.
- The 1,000 sqm land and independent warehouse are attractive, but their condition and usability are not shown in the photos.
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.
