What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €100,000 for 300 m², the ask is just €333/m² versus a €500/m² local baseline, and it is near the sea (5 km), which helps. But the description is vague on condition for a 1925 country house with only 1 bathroom and agricultural land, so I assume a material renovation budget of about €700/m², making it a good project rather than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This has real old Ligurian farmhouse atmosphere: stone walls, ivy, terraced land and a sunny hillside setting with mountain-valley views. But the photos show a very tired property with overgrowth, neglected exteriors and ancillary structures in poor shape, so it feels more like a substantial restoration project than an easy move-in home. The beauty is genuine, yet livability looks limited until significant work is done.
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€59,000 – €105,000
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.
- Appears to need major renovation and exterior clearance
- Some outbuildings/sections look semi-derelict or structurally compromised
- Only one bathroom is listed for a very large house
- Steep sloping site and rural access may limit easy day-to-day use
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 is in the Val Graveglia, in the Ligurian Apennines, with wooded slopes and a narrow valley landscape. The Graveglia stream runs through the valley, and the Entella valley and the coast around Chiavari and Lavagna are nearby but outside the immediate inland setting. The Aveto Regional Natural Park is close to the north, with the higher Monte Zatta and Monte Penna area forming the main mountain backdrop for this part of eastern Genoa province. The nearest larger town is Chiavari, which has rail links, a full range of shops and services, and the main access to the coast. This inland area is known for slate country and for the agricultural valleys behind the Tigullio coast.
