What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This 100 sqm historic-center townhouse is priced at €48,000 (€480/sqm); assuming it is broadly habitable with light updating, the effective cost is about €680/sqm including ~€200/sqm renovation. That is above the Liguria country-house baseline of €500/sqm, but the historic-center setting, services nearby, parking 30 m away, and 44 photos support a solid rather than exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable village house in a charming Ligurian borgo, with cobbled lanes, a stone archway, and some authentic old-setting character. Inside it looks structurally fine and immediately habitable, with kitchen, stairs, floors, and furnished rooms, but it is plain and dated rather than beautiful. The very low price for 100 sqm near the Ligurian coast adds appeal more than the house itself.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 very basic and dated, with little decorative charm.
- No view, garden, terrace, or outdoor space is shown.
- Likely needs cosmetic updating and modernization despite being usable now.
- Historic-center access appears pedestrian/narrow, with parking nearby rather than at the door.
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 low Ligurian Alps and upper Impero valley, with wooded slopes, olive terraces and narrow valleys. The Impero river runs through Borgomaro and the valley continues down toward Imperia. The nearest coast is the Riviera dei Fiori around Imperia, about 13 km away, but it is outside the immediate inland landscape and does not raise the score. Imperia is the nearest town of size, with full services, a port and rail access. This part of western Liguria is known for Taggiasca olives and olive oil.
