At €65,000 (€243/m²), the asking price is well below the local €497/m² benchmark, but substantial modernization of this 1900 property is likely. Using an estimated €700/m² renovation allowance, the effective cost rises to roughly €943/m²; the single bathroom, energy class G, and remote inland location limit the upside.
More on the house and the area
A substantial historic Ligurian village house with colorful façades, traditional shutters, a large shared-looking courtyard/terrace, and an impressive wooded mountain setting. It is a genuine roofed home with a kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and bathroom, but the exterior wear and stated modernization needs keep it below dream-home territory.
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€53,000 – €94,000
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 property needs modernization, with visibly weathered façades and older finishes.
- Only one full bathroom is listed for a very large nine-room house.
- Three levels and substantial floor area may mean significant renovation, heating, and maintenance costs.
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 72/100The cluster sits in the upper Sturla valley in the Ligurian Apennines. The Aveto Regional Natural Park begins nearby and covers the higher country inland around Monte Penna, Monte Aiona and the Aveto valley. The Sturla river runs through this area toward Chiavari. The nearest coast in daily use is the Tigullio shore around Chiavari and Lavagna. The nearest town of size is Chiavari, which has a full rail station, hospital and larger services. Santo Stefano d'Aveto, the main mountain centre inland, has the nearest ski lifts, about 35–45 minutes by road depending on the hamlet. The area is known for chestnut woods, beech forest, small mountain pastures and for the mushrooms and dairy produce of the Aveto interior.
