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 €89,000 for 55 sqm, the ask is €1,618/sqm; assuming habitable condition, the effective cost is about €1,818/sqm including light updates, versus a low-stock baseline of €522/sqm in Liguria townhouses. The panoramic terrace, cellar space and decent presentation help, but mechanically this sits far above the catalog baseline and is not a strong value buy.
More on the house and the area
The big wow here is the broad green valley view from the terrace: it feels genuinely liveable as well as scenic. The house is small but clearly habitable now, with a usable kitchen corner, bathroom, bedroom, fireplace and air conditioning. It lacks standout interior beauty, but the stone arch and borgo setting give it charm and make it more than just a plain box.
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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
- Interior is simple and somewhat dated rather than stylish.
- Overhead wires and terrace structure slightly spoil the panoramic terrace impact.
- Village location likely means parking is nearby rather than on-site.
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 61/100The cluster is in the lower Vara valley between the Ligurian Apennine hills and the Gulf of La Spezia. The Vara river runs nearby. The Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park is within the local area around the Magra estuary and lower valley. La Spezia is the nearest town of size, with a port, rail station and full services. The area is tied to the Gulf of La Spezia and the eastern Ligurian coast, but the better-known cliff coast of the Cinque Terre is farther away and does not sit around Follo itself.
