What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing explicitly says 'rudere da personalizzare', so this is a ruin/full restoration project rather than a livable house; I estimate about €1,100/m² renovation, bringing effective cost to roughly €1,633/m² (€49,000 + ~€101,200 works over 92 m²). That is far above the Liguria farmhouse baseline of €482/m² despite the good location near the sea and historic center.
More on the house and the area
The old borgo setting and enclosed little garden/courtyard have some atmosphere, and the price is undeniably tempting for Liguria near the sea. But this is not a livable home today: interiors are stripped and badly deteriorated, with major roof/ceiling issues and no functioning bathroom shown. It is a customization project rather than a dream home you could move into.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €54,000
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.
- Described as a rudere: full renovation required.
- Several interiors show severe decay, moisture damage and failing/partly open ceilings.
- No bathroom is present and no usable kitchen is shown.
- Historic-centre access/courtyard context may complicate works and logistics.
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 72/100The Ligurian Sea coast is within the area, with the built-up strip of the Riviera running along the shore and the first Ligurian Apennine ridges rising a few kilometres inland. The Beigua massif and Beigua Regional Nature Park lie nearby above the coast, with chestnut woods, upland pastures and wide views over this stretch of western Liguria. Savona is the nearest town of size, with port facilities, rail links, services and a historic centre. Albisola and nearby Celle Ligure are known for the ceramics tradition of this part of the Savona coast.
