The €70,000 price is attractive at €280/m², but the listing presents this as a large rustico without stating its condition, and restoration could bring the effective cost to about €1,380/m² versus a €496/m² local reference. The sea glimpse and location within 5 km of the coast add value, but the renovation and possible conversion costs are not documented.
More on the house and the area
The sweeping Ligurian hillside view toward the sea, mature olive trees, citrus and extensive green setting are genuinely attractive. However, the farmhouse is a heavily deteriorated rustico rather than a move-in-ready home, with visible structural wear and no proved usable interiors; this is primarily a major renovation project.
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€99,000 – €146,000
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 main building appears to require substantial structural renovation, with exposed masonry, damaged walls, rusted supports and unfinished roof/terrace elements.
- No interior photos are shown, so bathrooms, kitchen, utilities and actual habitability cannot be verified.
- The steep hillside setting may make access, construction logistics and maintaining the olive/citrus land more demanding.
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 Val Fontanabuona near the Entella basin, with wooded hills and narrow valley slopes around it. The Entella river is nearby, and the Ligurian coast at Chiavari and Lavagna is a short drive away, but the setting here is inland valley rather than seafront. The nearest town of size is Chiavari, which has a full range of services, a railway station and a historic centre. This part of eastern Liguria is known for slate working in the Fontanabuona valley and for olive groves on the lower hills.
