At €75,000 (€833/m²), the estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,933/m², far above the local €484/m² reference for comparable homes. The sea is only 2 km away and the property has a garden and terrace, but it is completely to renovate and the bathroom is outside.
More on the house and the area
The property has a genuinely appealing large terrace with leafy hillside surroundings and glimpses toward the nearby town, giving it some Ligurian outdoor charm. However, the interior is far from livable: it shows damp, damaged ceilings, rubble, makeshift supports, deteriorated secondary structures, and an external bathroom. This is a substantial restoration project rather than a ready-to-live-in cheap Italian home.
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€36,000 – €53,000
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.
- Major renovation required, with severe damp, cracked and deteriorated interiors, rubble, and extensive structural-looking repairs.
- The bathroom is outside the main dwelling, and the roofed outbuildings appear badly deteriorated.
- Large terrace and hillside setting are attractive, but power infrastructure and exposed utility lines significantly reduce the visual appeal.
- Usability, utilities, structural condition, and renovation permissions should be professionally 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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Savona, on the Ligurian coast, so daily surroundings are an urban fabric with port infrastructure and the sea nearby. The Ligurian Apennine foothills rise quickly inland behind the coastal strip. The nearest larger town is Savona itself, which has a full range of services, a historic centre and a working port. The Riviera delle Palme coast runs east and west from here, with beaches and seaside settlements along the narrow coastal plain.
