What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is two adjoining rustici sold together at €25,000 for 130 sqm, but the text says they are completely to be renovated inside and out, so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation; effective cost is roughly €1,292/sqm (€192 + €1,100), far above the €434/sqm baseline. The very low entry price and the possibility to create one dwelling help, but this is mainly a heavy renovation project rather than a cheap livable home.
More on the house and the area
The ivy-covered stone exterior, hillside village setting and green valley views give it real rustic Ligurian charm. But this is not a ready home: the listing says both buildings are completely to renovate, and the photos show very bare interiors with no proper bathroom and visible roof/ceiling issues. Dreamy as a project, not yet beautiful-and-livable.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€51,000 – €76,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated; interiors are very basic and worn.
- No bathroom is shown and the listing states 0 baths.
- Some roof/ceiling sections appear damaged or patched.
- Outdoor areas and annexes look rough and need clearing/repair.
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.
