What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly says 'ASTA IMMOBILIARE', so this is a judicial auction and fails the catalog veto rules regardless of the low asking price. While the nominal €218/m² is below the Liguria villa baseline of €347/m², auction status makes it unsuitable for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine appeal: a rustic stone house with some valley views, greenery and a lived-in, usable interior rather than a shell. The bathroom and kitchen look functional, so it seems realistically habitable now, but the overall presentation is modest and a bit rough, not a polished dream home. At this price and size, the value effect is strong.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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: documentation and occupancy/status need checking
- Interiors shown are only partial, so overall finish is uncertain
- Exterior and access areas feel scruffy rather than polished
- Likely needs updating/organization to reach full charm
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 sits in the inland valleys east of La Spezia, in the Ligurian Apennines above the lower Vara basin. The Vara river valley is the main landscape within reach, with wooded slopes, small farmed clearings and scattered hamlets. The Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park extends into the lower Vara and Magra area within reach, around the river confluence plain nearer Santo Stefano di Magra and the coast. La Spezia is the nearest city of size, with port services, rail connections and full urban amenities. The area is known for inland Val di Vara villages, woodland and mixed farming between the Apennine ridge and the Gulf of La Spezia.
