What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable villa at 387 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 421, ~8% below market. Fresh listing (6 days), 23 photos, 2000 sqm land with orchard, terrace, cellar, heating. Description confirms it's genuinely habitable needing only some interior modernization while exterior is in good condition. Missing energy class and sea distance. Modest below-baseline pricing plus land and light renovation needs make this a solid deal, not spectacular given the discount is small vs the sample median.
More on the house and the area
Hillside semi-detached villa in a quiet Ligurian mountain hamlet with sweeping valley and mountain views from a generous ~20sqm terrace. At €29k (€387/sqm) it's a genuine bargain, bundled with ~2000sqm of land including a fruit orchard. Exterior is well-maintained but visually dated; interior needs modernization. Views and land are the main draw rather than any standout architecture or interior.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Interior needs modernization work
- Exterior dated with visible wiring clutter
- No sea proximity data; mountain village location isolated
- Bathroom is external
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 58/100The cluster is in the valleys behind Genoa, with the Ligurian Apennines on the immediate horizon. The Bisagno river system shapes this area, with wooded slopes, narrow side valleys and scattered hamlets. The nearest substantial city is Genoa, with the full range of services, a major port, rail connections and airport access. The upper Bisagno and nearby inland valleys are known for chestnut woods, small terraced areas and the transition from the coast to the Apennine ridge.
