What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 for 140 sqm, the ask is €500/sqm, but with a likely renovation budget of about €700/sqm the effective cost is around €1,200/sqm. The local baseline is weak (n=29, median €530/sqm), so this looks only fair on hard numbers despite the good size, detached country-house profile, and green setting near Casella.
More on the house and the area
The best asset here is the leafy rural setting, terrace, and open green mountain view, which give it genuine lifestyle appeal. This is not a ruin: it has floors, windows, bathrooms, and basic kitchen areas, so it reads as a real house rather than a shell. But it is tired, overgrown, and fairly plain, so expect a substantial refresh before it feels dream-home ready.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €49,000
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.
- Needs significant interior updating and cleaning
- Overgrown garden/terrace reduces immediate usability
- Exterior is plain rather than especially photogenic
- Some visible wear/damp staining suggests maintenance work
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 68/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Apennines, in the Scrivia valley system, with wooded ridges and narrow valleys around it. The Scrivia river runs through this part of the area. The Parco Naturale Regionale dell'Antola lies nearby, with Monte Antola as the main summit of this section of the Apennines. The nearest substantial town is Genova, which provides the full range of city services and transport links. This inland part of Genoa province is known for Apennine woodland, small valley settlements and routes crossing between Liguria and the Po-side interior.
