In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €580/m², the asking price is close to the local €538/m² benchmark, but adding an estimated €20,000 for a habitable 100 m² home puts the effective cost around €780/m². The inland location is peaceful and the house is furnished, dry, and heated, though the listing does not say the energy class.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable Ligurian townhouse with a warm, lived-in character, attractive traditional shutters and patterned tiled floors. The mountain panorama, greenery and peaceful hillside-village setting provide the main dream factor, while the €58,000 price for 100 sqm makes it an unusually accessible real home rather than a renovation shell.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Interiors and kitchen are fully usable but noticeably dated and may need cosmetic updating.
- Heating appears to rely mainly on a wood-burning stove.
- Access is through narrow village lanes, and parking/storage arrangements should be verified.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a three-bedroom home.
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 cluster sits in the lower valley of the Lerrone, in the inland hills behind the western Ligurian coast. The Ligurian Alps rise inland, with the nearest higher ground around the Colle San Bartolomeo side above Albenga and the first proper mountain drives toward the Testico and Andora hinterland. The Ligurian Sea coast is nearby, with the beaches and marinas of Albenga, Alassio and Andora the main coastal reference for daily life. The nearest town of size is Albenga, which has a walled historic centre, a cathedral, medieval towers and the services of a larger coastal town. This part of western Liguria is known for olive groves, small hill villages and the transition from coastal strip to inland valleys.
