What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 for 95 sqm, the asking price is €737/sqm; with an estimated €700/sqm renovation budget, effective cost is about €1,437/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €500/sqm in Liguria country houses. The large 35 sqm double garage adds utility, but the description is incomplete and does not show clear evidence of a renovated/habitable standard, so this looks only fair rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real house rather than a shell: it has a roof, finished floors, a fitted kitchen area, radiators and usable internal spaces. The nicest asset is the green hillside and village-church view from the upper floor, but the overall look is quite ordinary and it appears neglected rather than move-in ready. At €70k with a big garage, it has some practical appeal more than dream-home magic.
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€19,000 – €34,000
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 look dusty and partly stripped, with clear refresh/repair needed.
- Only a small courtyard is visible; no real garden or outdoor living space shown.
- Exterior is plain and the adjoining building hurts overall charm.
- Bathroom/bedroom condition is not proven in the photos provided.
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 58/100The area sits in the Ligurian Apennines, in the upper Fontanabuona valley system. The Lavagna basin and its wooded ridges are the main landscape within the immediate area. Portofino Regional Natural Park is nearby on the coast side but not within the core 15 km landscape. The nearest larger town is Genoa, which provides the full city services and major rail links. The area is known for inland Ligurian valleys of chestnut woods, scattered hamlets and slate-working country tied to the Fontanabuona.
