What it really costs

Not before the basics are done

The €25,000 asking price looks low, but the 144 m² house requires complete renovation including the roof, systems and windows and is currently uninhabitable. At an estimated €1,100/m² renovation cost, the effective cost is about €1,274/m² versus €538/m² for comparable homes in the area.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine Ligurian village charm: rugged stone walls, olive trees, a church-centered mountain hamlet and a beautiful green valley panorama. However, it is a full renovation project rather than a ready home, with visibly deteriorated interiors and major roof and systems work required. Its setting is dreamy, but the condition keeps it firmly in the photogenic-project category.
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€57,000 – €84,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Complete renovation required, including the roof, plumbing, electrical systems, windows and finishes.
- The property is explicitly not currently habitable; interiors show damp, cracking and extensive deterioration.
- Access is via an external stairway through a shared courtyard, with parking about 100 meters away.
- The panoramic terrace and valley setting are compelling, but the usable private outdoor area appears limited.
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 67/100The cluster sits in the upper Arroscia valley in the Ligurian Alps, with wooded ridges and narrow valley slopes around the town. The Arroscia river runs through Pieve di Teco. The Ligurian coast at Imperia is outside the immediate landscape but is the nearest sea access for daily life. The nearest larger centre is Imperia, with full services and rail connections on the coast. This part of western Liguria is known for olive growing in the lower valleys and for mountain roads leading toward Colle di Nava and the inland villages of the Arroscia valley.
