Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €850/m², the €85,000 asking price is well above the local €484/m² benchmark, and allowing roughly €700/m² for an unspecified condition makes the effective cost particularly high. The sea view, historic village setting, garden, and proximity to the coast add value, but the listing provides only one photo and does not state the condition, construction year, or energy class.
More on the house and the area
The listing promises a distinctive Ligurian village home with a private garden and sea view, close to the coast, which is highly appealing on paper. However, the only image is unavailable and the condition is not stated, so there is not enough evidence to call it a beautiful, ready-to-live-in dream home.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Photo unavailable, so the garden, sea view, interiors, and exterior character cannot be verified.
- Condition is unspecified; renovation needs and actual livability are unclear.
- Access and practicality of the historic carrugio location should be checked.
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 81/100The cluster is on the Ligurian Sea coast in the Riviera dei Fiori, with steep olive terraces rising immediately behind the shore. The nearest larger town is Sanremo, which has a marina, services and a substantial historic centre. Imperia is also nearby and is the main service town for this stretch of coast. This part of western Liguria is known for olive cultivation, especially Taggiasca olives, and for narrow coastal settlements backed by short, steep valleys of the Ligurian Alps. The nearest higher mountains are the Ligurian Alps inland, but the daily landscape here is primarily a terraced coastal slope rather than a mountain basin.
