At €75,000 (€987/m²), this is already far above the local €385/m² benchmark; assuming substantial renovation at about €700/m², the effective cost rises to roughly €1,687/m². The listing does not state the condition, construction year, or energy class, and its promotional description is too vague to justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable Ligurian village house with a working kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, heating stove, and a spectacular covered terrace overlooking wooded hills toward the sea. The tiled interiors are dated rather than stylish, but the stone surroundings, historic village setting, panoramic outlook, and usable outdoor space create a strong dream-home proposition at this price.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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 dated and heavily furnished, with some cosmetic refresh likely needed.
- The property is multi-level with substantial stairs and appears to have limited outdoor privacy.
- The roofed storage cellar is rustic and useful, but not finished living space.
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.
