This is explicitly an auction listing ('asta immobiliare'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog regardless of the low ask. The price is about €201/m² versus a €347/m² baseline, but auction risk and the mixed asset package (house, outbuildings and agricultural land) dominate the score.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely attractive: wooded Ligurian hills, open valley views and a lot of land give it real countryside appeal. The house looks structurally like a proper, roofed home with usable kitchen/dining rooms, but it is plain, dated and not presented as a finished dream interior. At this price and size it has strong value, yet the wow comes more from the rural setting and land than from the house itself.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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: legal/document checks are essential.
- Interiors look basic and dated rather than polished.
- No bathroom is shown/listed, so livability details are incomplete.
- Rural hillside setting may mean car-dependent access and services.
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 lies in the inland hills between the Bormida valley and the Ligurian Apennines. The Bormida di Pallare runs through the area. The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri crosses the ridge country nearby, and the regional park of Bric Tana is at Millesimo. The nearest substantial town is Cairo Montenotte, which has the main services of the upper Val Bormida; Savona on the coast is the nearest larger city. This part of inland Savona is known for wooded ridges, small valley villages and mixed chestnut and beech country rather than for a single landmark.
