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
At €85,000 for 120 sqm, the asking price is about €708/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of ~€200/sqm, effective cost is roughly €908/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €534/sqm in Liguria townhouses. Recent exterior works and roof redone in 2015 reduce risk, but at 9 km from the sea this is not especially discounted, so it looks more ordinary than a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, real house with a freshly restored exterior, newish roof, generous size and a genuinely usable terrace that gives it lifestyle appeal. Inside it is habitable but simple and dated, with some spaces needing clear modernization before it feels beautiful. Good value near the coast, but more practical than truly swoon-worthy.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interiors are plain and dated rather than atmospheric.
- Kitchen/terrace level looks unfinished and will need real updating.
- Only one bathroom for a fairly large house.
- View is pleasant village/hillside, not wide open sea panorama.
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 lies in the inland valleys behind Imperia, in olive-growing hills cut by small streams, with the Ligurian Alps rising further north. The nearest coast is the Riviera di Ponente around Imperia, about 12 km away, which matters for services and daily movement but is outside the immediate inland landscape. Imperia is the nearest town of size, with full everyday services, a port and rail connections. This part of western Liguria is known for Taggiasca olives and olive oil.
