In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 plus an estimated €15,200 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €1,187/m²—roughly three times the €385/m² local comparison level. The independent home has a terrace, panoramic setting and large cellar, but the listing does not say its energy class and the 10 km distance from the sea limits the location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable Ligurian village home with a superb open panorama over wooded hills and a glimpse toward the sea, plus a generous shaded terrace for outdoor living. The interiors are practical and equipped, not a renovation shell, while the old stone storage cellar and traditional village setting add character. Its main weakness is that the house feels dated rather than beautifully restored.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 are fully usable but dated, with older kitchen, bathroom, furnishings, and finishes.
- The home is arranged over multiple levels with several internal stairs, which may limit accessibility.
- The large terrace and roof/cellar areas show weathering and should be checked for maintenance or waterproofing needs.
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 72/100The cluster is in the lower Prino valley, with olive-covered Ligurian hills rising immediately inland and the Ligurian Sea coast at Imperia within about 6 km. The Prino river runs through this valley to the sea. Dolcedo has a substantial stone village core with medieval fabric and bridges, and Imperia is the nearest town of size with full services, a marina and rail access. The area is known for olive cultivation and Taggiasca olives, with terraced groves across the slopes.
