At €60,000 for 20 m², the effective cost is about €4,100/m² after heavy restoration, versus roughly €484/m² for comparable local stock. The sea proximity and garden help, but there is no bathroom, the condition is unclear, and the description is cut off before stating how the property is registered.
More on the house and the area
A wonderfully atmospheric Ligurian stone rustico with lush fruit trees, grapevines, palms, and sweeping wooded mountain views. However, the tiny two-level structure is not currently a usable home: the interiors are rough and storage-like, with no bathroom and major renovation needed.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €12,000
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.
- Only about 20 sqm, with no bathroom shown or listed.
- The interiors appear unfinished and partly used for storage, so this is a substantial renovation project.
- Access, utilities, permits for expansion, and habitability should be verified.
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 72/100The Maritime Alps rise immediately inland, with steep olive-covered valleys and ridges above the Argentina valley. The Argentina river runs down to Taggia and the Ligurian coast. The nearest substantial town is Sanremo, which provides full services, a rail station, a marina and the main commercial centre of this part of western Liguria. The old hill villages of the Sanremo hinterland, including Ceriana, are known for olive cultivation and for dense medieval settlement patterns on narrow ridgelines above the coast.
