What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 for 200 sqm, the ask is just €445/sqm versus a €500/sqm Liguria farmhouse baseline, but the description only says 'casa colonica' with no evidence of renovation or habitability, so I assume a moderate renovation need at about €700/sqm. That brings the effective cost to roughly €1,145/sqm, which is not cheap against this low-stock baseline, though the very large land parcel and sea view/location near Varazze support the price.
More on the house and the area
The setting is the real draw: a large piece of land in the Beigua Geopark with wooded mountain scenery and a distant sea view gives it a romantic wild-Liguria feel. But the house itself looks like a neglected shell from the outside, with no evidence of usable interiors or current livability. Dreamy land, yes; dream home yet, no.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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 be a full renovation project, not move-in ready
- No interior photos, bathrooms or kitchen shown
- Likely isolated hillside setting with access/utilities to verify
- Sea view is distant and partly screened by trees
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 78/100The Ligurian Apennines rise immediately inland, with Monte Beigua and the Beigua massif within about 15 km of this area. The Teiro and Arrestra streams cut short valleys towards the Ligurian Sea. Beigua Regional Nature Park lies nearby and covers a large part of the mountain hinterland above the coast. The nearest coast is the Riviera di Ponente around Varazze and Celle Ligure, with beaches, a marina and the usual services of a substantial seaside town. Genoa is the nearest big city for higher-level services and transport. Beigua is known for upland pastures, beech woods and wide sea-to-mountain views, and the Varazze area is known for the Ligurian coast and access into the Beigua hinterland.
