At €544/m², the asking price is about 12% above the local €484/m² benchmark before accounting for renovation. The 1,000 m² private plot, cellar, parking and terrace add value, but the listing does not say whether the 90 m² house is habitable or needs work.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, solid country house rather than a ruin, with a charming façade, colorful shutters, mature greenery, and approximately 1,000 sqm of private land. The interior is clean, heated, floored, and clearly livable, although the kitchen needs fitting out and the rooms would benefit from cosmetic updates.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- The kitchen appears unfinished and lacks visible cabinets or appliances.
- Interiors are clean and usable but plain, with dated finishes and only one bathroom.
- The large garden looks leafy but will need clearing and ongoing maintenance.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Apennines, in the Scrivia valley system, with wooded ridges and narrow valleys around it. The Scrivia river runs through this part of the area. The Parco Naturale Regionale dell'Antola lies nearby, with Monte Antola as the main summit of this section of the Apennines. The nearest substantial town is Genova, which provides the full range of city services and transport links. This inland part of Genoa province is known for Apennine woodland, small valley settlements and routes crossing between Liguria and the Po-side interior.
