In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €87,000 (€512/m²), the house is below the local €538/m² reference, but its effective cost rises to roughly €712/m² after allowing €300/m² for modernization and installing heating. The rural location, 9 km from the sea, and lack of a described heating system limit the deal’s appeal despite the large size and usable condition.
More on the house and the area
A charming pink Ligurian townhouse with decorative trim, green shutters, a terrace, church-bell-tower setting, and impressive mountain views. It is a substantial, roofed and apparently habitable home rather than a shell, but the worn facade, lack of central heating, steep access, and overgrown outdoor areas keep it below dream-home level.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€17,000 – €28,000
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 house needs modernization, with visibly weathered plaster and cracking on the exterior.
- There is no fixed heating system beyond wood stoves.
- Access is via steep pedestrian lanes and numerous steps, which may be difficult for cars, deliveries, or reduced mobility.
- The rear land is overgrown and will need clearing and 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 58/100The area sits in the Ligurian Apennines, in the upper Fontanabuona valley system. The Lavagna basin and its wooded ridges are the main landscape within the immediate area. Portofino Regional Natural Park is nearby on the coast side but not within the core 15 km landscape. The nearest larger town is Genoa, which provides the full city services and major rail links. The area is known for inland Ligurian valleys of chestnut woods, scattered hamlets and slate-working country tied to the Fontanabuona.
