What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 65 sqm, the asking price is about €1,462/sqm; assuming habitable-but-basic condition from the description, the effective cost is roughly €1,662/sqm including light renovation. That is far above this catalog baseline of €500/sqm for Liguria country houses, though the independent house format and 2 km from the sea help a bit.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable small home rather than a shell: it has finished floors, a working kitchen area, bathroom, and simple livable rooms. The main appeal is the olive-grove setting and private outdoor space on the hillside, but the house itself is modest and dated, with limited visual wow. Near Imperia and only 2 km from the sea helps the dream factor, though the photos do not show any actual view.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Interior is dated and fairly plain rather than characterful.
- Outdoor pergola/terrace looks worn and needs tidying or repair.
- Steep terraced olive land may be more charming than truly usable.
- No sea view is shown despite being near the coast.
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 62/100The area sits in the first inland hills above the Gulf of Diano, with short valleys, olive terraces and ridge villages typical of western Liguria. The nearest coast is the Riviera di Ponente around Diano Marina and Imperia, with beaches and marinas a few kilometres downhill. Imperia is the nearest town of size, with full services, a port and a larger historic centre spread between Porto Maurizio and Oneglia. This part of the province is known for olive cultivation and Ligurian olive oil.
