What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an auction listing ("asta immobiliare"), which is a hard veto for this catalog despite the low ask. The apparent price is €284/m² vs a €347/m² baseline in Liguria villas, but auction risk overrides the discount.
More on the house and the area
This has real rustic Ligurian charm: stone walls, timber ceilings, balconies and a green hillside setting close to the sea. It looks structurally like a genuine habitable house rather than a shell, with finished floors and usable rooms, but the interiors are modest, dim and need refreshing to feel dream-home level. The low price adds appeal, yet this is more an atmospheric bargain house than an immediately swoon-worthy finished 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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Interiors look dark and quite basic, needing updating.
- Some spaces appear improvised/awkwardly laid out, especially the lower level.
- Auction sale: documents and actual condition should be checked carefully.
- Bathroom is not clearly shown in the photos.
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 62/100The cluster sits in the lower Fontanabuona area on the Ligurian Apennine side above the Golfo Paradiso coast. The Recco stream valley and short steep wooded ridges shape the immediate landscape, with the coast at Recco and Camogli about 5 to 10 km away. Portofino Regional Park lies nearby on the promontory east of Camogli, though not in the immediate inland valley itself. Recco is the nearest town of size, with rail access, shops and services; Genoa is the main city for wider services and transport. The area is known for olive groves, mixed woodland and small hillside hamlets connected to the coastal towns.
