What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €59,000 price is €983/m², but treating this 60 m² rustico as a restoration project adds about €66,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €2,083/m² versus the Liguria farmhouse baseline of €500/m². The 1,500 m² of land and sea location 3 km away add value, but condition and legal/habitability details are missing.
More on the house and the area
The stone rustic has strong Ligurian character, abundant surrounding land, and attractive sunny hillside views toward the town and mountains, with the coast only a few kilometres away. However, the building looks like a bare, heavily overgrown shell with no evidence of a usable interior, so this is a restoration project rather than a realistic ready-to-live-in 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€24,000 – €35,000
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 60 sqm rustic appears to be an uninhabitable renovation project rather than a move-in home.
- No interior photos are provided, so a kitchen, bathroom, finished floors, utilities, and roof condition cannot be verified.
- The 1,500 sqm plot is attractive but visibly dry, overgrown, and partly agricultural in character.
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 71/100The Maritime Alps rise immediately inland above the lower Argentina valley. The Argentina river reaches the sea at Arma di Taggia. The nearest substantial town is Sanremo, which has full services, a marina and rail connections. This stretch of the Riviera di Ponente is known for olive cultivation, especially Taggiasca olives, and for a built coastal strip backed very quickly by steep inland valleys.
