What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €10,000 asking price (€80/m²) looks extremely low, but the house is completely to renovate; estimated total renovation cost is about €147,500 (€1,180/m² effective), well above the Liguria townhouse baseline of €538/m². Mallare is inland 12 km from the sea, offering limited location premium.
More on the house and the area
A charming Ligurian village townhouse beside a historic church, with traditional shutters, tiled roofs, and hints of wooded hills nearby. However, the actual property is a complete renovation project, while the attractive interiors shown are only illustrative renders, so it is not currently a realistically livable dream 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€50,000 – €73,000
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 explicitly completely in need of renovation.
- Interior images are illustrative renders, not photographs of the actual home.
- No confirmed utilities, structural condition, roof condition, or renovation costs are provided.
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 61/100The cluster lies in the inland hills between the Bormida valley and the Ligurian Apennines. The Bormida di Pallare runs through the area. The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri crosses the ridge country nearby, and the regional park of Bric Tana is at Millesimo. The nearest substantial town is Cairo Montenotte, which has the main services of the upper Val Bormida; Savona on the coast is the nearest larger city. This part of inland Savona is known for wooded ridges, small valley villages and mixed chestnut and beech country rather than for a single landmark.
