What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This 50 sqm Liguria listing is effectively about €1,800/m² assuming habitable condition (€80,000 + light works), versus a very low internal baseline of €434/m² for sub-€100k farmhouses. Being around 4 km from the sea and in a borgata helps a bit, but at roughly 4x the baseline it looks expensive rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This has real Ligurian borgo charm: stone access, vaulted passages and arched interiors give it character beyond a standard studio. It looks fully usable now, with finished floors, kitchen and bathroom, but it is small, somewhat dark and more simple than dreamy. Attractive as a characterful base near the sea rather than a true scroll-stopping dream home.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Small one-room layout limits everyday livability
- Interior is habitable but dated and fairly dark
- No proven sea view in the photos
- Shared borgata setting rather than private standalone house
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 Ligurian Sea coast is within a few kilometres, with Andora’s long beach and the marina on this stretch of the Riviera di Ponente. The valley behind the coast rises quickly into olive hills and short Ligurian ridges. The Torrente Merula runs through the local valley to the sea. Cervo, a historic hill village on the coast, is within about 10 km and is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. Alassio is the nearest larger resort town, with a long seafront, services and a rail station. This part of western Liguria is known for olive groves, maritime tourism and the narrow meeting of coast and hills.
