Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Priced at €550/m², essentially at the local median (€528/m²), so no real discount versus baseline. The property needs a total gut renovation: 'privi di ogni impianto' means no utilities/systems at all, so budget ~€1000-1400/m² for full works. Contradictory size claims: facts say 40 m² but description says 30 m². No bathroom (baths=0), no energy class, and sea distance unknown. Positives: stone house in historic center, two cellars, courtyard, 500 m² garden, no condo fees, fresh listing (3 days). Fair but not a bargain given renovation load and lack of baseline discount.
More on the house and the area
A mid-1800s stone rustico in the upper old town of Badalucco needing total renovation. Best assets are the historic stone character and rooftop views over the village's baroque bell tower and green valley. At €22k (€550/m2) it's cheap, but the interior photos show raw cellars, crumbling plaster, and dilapidated timber - purely a project shell. The terrace offers pleasant village and mountain views but is unremarkable in condition. No standout wow beyond bargain price and setting.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €23,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The nearest ski area is Monesi di Triora, about an hour’s drive depending on road conditions. The nearest larger town is Sanremo, which has full services, a marina, rail connections and the main commercial centre of this part of western Liguria. Triora, further up the valley, is one of I Borghi più belli d’Italia. This part of the province is known for olive cultivation, especially Taggiasca olives and olive oil, and for the old hill villages behind the coast.
