Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €282/m², the asking price is well below comparable Ligurian country homes at about €484/m², with a private garden, balconies, parking and 11 rooms. The listing does not state the condition, so allowing roughly €200/m² for updates brings the effective cost close to the local norm; the inland location 25 km from the sea limits the upside.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, charming Ligurian country house with a photogenic green façade, balconies, private garden and wooded mountain surroundings. The interiors are dated but fully furnished and clearly usable, with a working kitchen, multiple bedrooms, traditional terrazzo floors and wood-panelled living spaces rather than an empty shell. At €85,000 for 301 sqm, its scale and apparent livability create strong bargain appeal.
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€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.
- Directly beside a main road with guardrails, so road noise and privacy may be concerns.
- Interiors are highly dated and furnished in an old-fashioned style, with some visible wall/ceiling patching.
- The gallery does not clearly show all three bathrooms or the condition of the lower-level cellars.
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 75/100The cluster sits in the Ligurian Apennines at the foot of Monte Maggiorasca and Monte Bue, in the Aveto valley. The Aveto river runs through this area. Much of the surrounding landscape falls within the Aveto Regional Natural Park. The nearest ski lifts are at Rocca d’Aveto on Monte Bue, a short drive from the village. Santo Stefano d’Aveto itself is the main service centre in the upper valley, with a small historic core and the remains of the Malaspina castle. The area is known for high Apennine pastures and woods, mushrooms, and the Santo Stefano d’Aveto summer pasture cheese.
