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 €80,000 for 128 sqm, the asking price is €625/sqm; with a typical habitable-home allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is about €825/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €536/sqm in Liguria townhouses. The 4 km sea distance and terrace help, but the large 46 sqm magazzino is not counted in the main area and the effective price sits above baseline, so this looks more fair than a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
This has real old-Liguria borgo charm: stone lanes, arches, vaulted ceilings and a characterful pink facade tucked into a beautiful historic setting. The house looks genuinely usable now, with finished floors, bathroom, kitchen/living spaces and bedrooms, but it is simple rather than dreamy and would benefit from refreshing. A pleasant liveable village house with atmosphere, more charming than spectacular.
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 – €14,000
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 are habitable but plain and somewhat dark.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 128 sqm three-floor house.
- Access is through tight pedestrian village lanes, so parking/loading may be awkward.
- No real sea or open view is proven in the photos despite being near the coast.
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 81/100The cluster is on the Ligurian Sea coast in the Riviera dei Fiori, with steep olive terraces rising immediately behind the shore. The nearest larger town is Sanremo, which has a marina, services and a substantial historic centre. Imperia is also nearby and is the main service town for this stretch of coast. This part of western Liguria is known for olive cultivation, especially Taggiasca olives, and for narrow coastal settlements backed by short, steep valleys of the Ligurian Alps. The nearest higher mountains are the Ligurian Alps inland, but the daily landscape here is primarily a terraced coastal slope rather than a mountain basin.
