See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €90,000 asking price is attractive at €450/m², but the partially renovated 200 m² home still needs interior finishing, including bathroom tiling, at an estimated €300/m². After renovation, the effective cost is about €750/m², above the €538/m² local comparison level; the large garden, terrace, garage and quiet Ligurian setting add appeal.
More on the house and the area
A characterful Ligurian village house with a dramatic wooded mountain panorama, traditional stonework, green shutters, a terrace, and a level garden. The main home appears solid and substantially updated with new windows, shutters, tiled floors, and electrical work, but it is not fully finished and needs interior personalization, especially the bathrooms. The surrounding rustico structures are much more dilapidated and should be treated as renovation projects.
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€20,000 – €34,000
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 bathrooms appear unfinished and need tiling; the kitchen and full services are not shown.
- The adjacent stone outbuildings/rustico have severely deteriorated roofs and may require major rebuilding.
- The home is about 100 meters from parking, which may limit everyday vehicle access.
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 is in the inland valley country behind the eastern Ligurian coast, with wooded Apennine ridges and steep slopes around the upper Val Fontanabuona and the approach to the Aveto area. The Lavagna basin is the nearest river system. Portofino Regional Natural Park and the promontory are outside the 15 km radius and do not define the immediate setting. The nearest larger town is Chiavari on the coast, which has full services and rail links. This part of inland eastern Liguria is known for small hillside villages, chestnut woods, slate country and road connections from the coast into the interior.
