In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 for 24 m², the effective price is about €3,492/m² after modest habitable-property costs, versus roughly €385/m² for comparable budget stock. The sea view, 800 m² private land and location 1 km from the coast add value, but not enough to justify this extreme premium for a very small home.
More on the house and the area
The extraordinary open sea view, flowering garden, olive trees and roughly 800 sqm of private land create a genuinely appealing Ligurian retreat. Inside, it is a real habitable home with a functioning kitchenette, bathroom, air-conditioning and a charming enclosed veranda, though the interiors are dated and the space is extremely small.
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€2,000 – €3,000
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.
- Very compact 24 sqm layout with combined living/sleeping area.
- The enclosed veranda and exterior metalwork show visible age and peeling paint.
- Kitchen is a small kitchenette rather than a full-size cooking space.
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 81/100The cluster is on the Ligurian Sea coast in the Riviera dei Fiori, with steep olive terraces rising immediately behind the shore. The nearest larger town is Sanremo, which has a marina, services and a substantial historic centre. Imperia is also nearby and is the main service town for this stretch of coast. This part of western Liguria is known for olive cultivation, especially Taggiasca olives, and for narrow coastal settlements backed by short, steep valleys of the Ligurian Alps. The nearest higher mountains are the Ligurian Alps inland, but the daily landscape here is primarily a terraced coastal slope rather than a mountain basin.
