What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
- Land, with no house on it
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is not a livable house listing but 1,600 sqm of land with two small buildings explicitly for storage/cellar use (16 and 10 sqm), with demolition/reconstruction and all permits/costs on the buyer. At €30,000 for effectively land plus non-residential outbuildings, it fails the dwelling requirement despite the coastal Liguria location.
More on the house and the area
There is some hillside charm here, with olive trees, greenery and partial views toward the valley and village. But the listing is really for overgrown land with two very small storage buildings to demolish and rebuild, not a usable home. Dreamy setting potential, yes; live-in reality, no.
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€12,000 – €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.
- This is not a house to live in yet: only two tiny cellar/outbuilding structures are described.
- The land is completely overgrown and needs major clearing.
- Rebuild/demolition permissions, design costs and all works are on the buyer.
- Utilities and road access are only near the boundary, not shown as already connected.
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 cluster sits on the lower Magra valley near the Ligurian coast, with the Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park within the area around the river mouth and the low hills above it. The Magra River is the main natural feature here, with the Ligurian Sea and the Gulf of La Spezia a few kilometres away. The nearest town of size is La Spezia, which has a full range of services, a railway junction and port facilities. Lerici and the villages around the east side of the gulf are nearby, and Tellaro is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. This part of eastern Liguria is known for the transition from river plain to olive and vineyard hills at the edge of the gulf, and for access to the Poets' Gulf coast.
