What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000, estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €182,000, or €1,517/m² versus the Liguria farmhouse baseline of €500/m². The 2 km sea location and panoramic views add value, but the property is currently derelict and requires a full rebuild.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely beautiful, with sweeping views over the Ligurian coast, nearby towns, mountains, and a substantial olive-covered hillside with old stone walls. However, the photos show only land and paths, while the description says the existing rustico is derelict and would need to be rebuilt, making this a scenic project rather than a 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€48,000 – €70,000
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 property is described as currently ruined/derelict, despite the listing’s conflicting “habitable” fact, so it is not a move-in home.
- The advertised 120 sqm is a permitted reconstruction concept rather than an existing usable house.
- Access appears to be via a narrow unpaved track; utilities, permits, and reconstruction costs need verification.
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 sits at the mouth of the Magra river, with the Apuan Alps visible at close range to the east. The Ligurian coast is immediately nearby around Bocca di Magra and Fiumaretta, and the Monte Marcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park covers the headland, river mouth and inland valleys around Ameglia. The beaches and coves of the Montemarcello headland are within the local area, and Lerici is the nearest substantial coastal town with services, a harbour and a historic centre. Sarzana is the nearest larger town inland, with a rail station, full everyday services and a walled old centre. This stretch is known for the Magra estuary, boatyards and access to the eastern side of the Golfo dei Poeti.
