What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovation- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction with a €53,793 minimum bid, so it is not a normal purchase and carries auction-specific legal and procedural risks. The house needs substantial renovation; at an estimated €700/m², the effective cost is about €898/m² before auction expenses, above the local €538/m² benchmark.
More on the house and the area
A substantial three-storey home with a generous garden, a striking mountain setting, and enough space for a large household or workshop use. The house appears roofed and genuinely usable, with kitchens, bedrooms, heating, and bathrooms described, but the poor maintenance and dated interiors mean meaningful renovation is needed before it feels like a 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€54,000 – €96,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The house is unusually large, but its overall maintenance is poor and the systems and finishes need renewal.
- The interior is usable and furnished, yet dated and cluttered rather than move-in ready.
- This is an auction property, so legal, occupancy, and condition verification are especially important.
- Wood-fired heating may require effort and regular fuel supply, particularly in this snowy mountain setting.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Ligurian Apennines above the Bormida valley, in a landscape of wooded ridges and small valley settlements. The Bormida di Pallare runs nearby. The area falls within the Adelasia regional nature reserve, known for beech and chestnut woods and old charcoal-making landscapes. The nearest larger town is Cairo Montenotte, which has the main everyday services and rail connections in the upper Bormida valley. Savona and the Ligurian coast are beyond the hills and matter for access, but they are outside the immediate landscape. This part of inland Savona is known for forested uplands, scattered hamlets and the old route between the coast and Piedmont.
