This is a mobile home inside a campsite sold by private agreement with direct camping registration, so it is not standard residential real estate despite the seaside location. The description also states the bathroom has no toilet, and the local baseline is weak, so the low €619/m² is not enough to make this a sound housing deal.
More on the house and the area
It is tidy, furnished and genuinely usable right now, with a pleasant covered veranda and a near-sea setting. But the photos show a simple campsite mobile home rather than a beautiful Italian house, with little visual wow and no proven sea view. The missing WC and non-standard ownership setup materially limit the dream-home appeal.
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.
- This is a mobile home in a campsite, not a standard freehold house.
- No toilet currently installed; bathroom is incomplete.
- Annual campsite fees are significant (€3,100/year plus parking).
- Ownership/legal setup is by private agreement in camping, not normal notarized property transfer.
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 68/100The cluster is in the coastal hills above the Ligurian Sea, with olive terraces and short valleys running down to the Riviera di Ponente. The nearest coast is the stretch around San Lorenzo al Mare and Imperia, with small beaches and a built seafront. Imperia is the nearest town of size, with a port, a larger urban centre and full services. This part of western Liguria is known for Taggiasca olives and olive oil.
