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
Price of €562/m² is near the baseline median (€528/m²), so only ~6% above typical — not a bargain, not a rip-off. Listed as 'Habitable' but the description says 'la casa si presenta in fase di ristrutturazione' (undergoing renovation), a contradiction suggesting real renovation work is needed. Only 1 photo limits assessment, and missing building year and energy class. Positives: semi-detached townhouse in historic center, no condo fees, includes a large cellar, and fresh listing (3 days). Fair deal contingent on verifying renovation scope; budget ~€400/m² for mid-level finishing.
More on the house and the area
Single exterior photo of a semi-detached townhouse in the upper old town of Badalucco. Some charm from the historic center setting, decorative ceramic mural, wrought-iron lamp and blue shutters, but the facade is worn and cracked. Cheap at €562/m2 for 80m2, but the property is mid-renovation despite the 'Habitable' tag. No interior, view, or nature shots to assess. Ordinary listing with only mild old-town character.
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 – €16,000
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.
- Only 1 photo, exterior only — no interior visible
- Condition listed as Habitable but description says under renovation ('in fase di ristrutturazione')
- No sea distance, energy class, or building year provided
- Facade shows cracks and weathering
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 is in the Argentina valley, with the Ligurian Alps rising inland and the lower valley running down to the Riviera di Ponente. The Argentina river passes through Badalucco. The Parco naturale regionale delle Alpi Liguri lies inland up the same valley. 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.
