What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing reads as ready to live in, so I used about €200/m² renovation cost: effective price is roughly €114,800, or €890/m². That is above the local baseline of €510/m² for Liguria townhouses, so it is not a bargain on price, but the panoramic terrace, extra outdoor space, and apparently habitable condition keep it in the good/fair border area.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable village house with a big panoramic terrace, mountain views and a charming little garden/orto, which gives it real dream-of-living-there appeal. The interiors are modest but functional, with kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms already in place, so it looks ready to use rather than a shell. The setting in the dramatic stone borgo adds character, even if the building fabric around it feels weathered and not polished.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Exterior/common borgo fabric looks rough and aged despite the home itself being usable.
- Interiors are simple and a bit dated rather than beautifully restored.
- Vertical layout over three levels may not suit everyone.
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 78/100The cluster sits in the upper Argentina valley in the Ligurian Alps, with steep wooded slopes and mountain ridges immediately around it. The Argentina river runs through the valley below. This is inside the Parco naturale regionale delle Alpi Liguri. The nearest skiing is the small Monesi area, roughly 20–30 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Triora is known for its intact stone hill village and for the witch-trial history associated with the town. Sanremo on the coast is the nearest larger town with full services, rail links and a hospital.
