This is explicitly an auction listing ("asta immobiliare"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. The ad also mixes an apartment with multiple land parcels and reports 0 bathrooms, so the usable dwelling details are incomplete despite the low €58,093 asking price.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable hillside home rather than a shell, with a wooded Ligurian setting, terrace space and some land adding lifestyle appeal. The house looks structurally sound and lived-in, but the interiors shown are plain and functional rather than beautiful, so the dream factor is moderate. At this price for 103 sqm near Genoa/Liguria, the value helps more than the visuals.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Auction sale: photos and listing details may be incomplete or not fully verified.
- Habitable but fairly basic interior with little design charm shown.
- Steep, terraced access and outdoor areas may need maintenance.
- No bathroom photo shown despite the home appearing lived-in.
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 58/100The cluster is in the valleys behind Genoa, with the Ligurian Apennines on the immediate horizon. The Bisagno river system shapes this area, with wooded slopes, narrow side valleys and scattered hamlets. The nearest substantial city is Genoa, with the full range of services, a major port, rail connections and airport access. The upper Bisagno and nearby inland valleys are known for chestnut woods, small terraced areas and the transition from the coast to the Apennine ridge.
