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 €76,000 (€894/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €93,000 or €1,094/m² including €200/m² for habitable-condition work—roughly double the Liguria townhouse baseline of €538/m². The well-documented 85 m² home has 36 photos, private outdoor space and nearby services, but the price is not compelling for inland Casella, 15 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable mountain home with sweeping green Ligurian views, a private garden and strong character from the exposed stonework, terracotta details and timber-beamed attic. The interiors are functional and habitable rather than polished, while the exterior and terrace need cosmetic upkeep, but this feels like a real home rather than a renovation shell.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€6,000 – €9,000
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 exterior shows peeling render, weathering and a tired terrace/balcony that may need maintenance.
- Access includes steep outdoor stairs, and the house has only one bathroom.
- The garden is attractive but partly overgrown and includes sheds/storage structures needing attention.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Apennines, in the Scrivia valley system, with wooded ridges and narrow valleys around it. The Scrivia river runs through this part of the area. The Parco Naturale Regionale dell'Antola lies nearby, with Monte Antola as the main summit of this section of the Apennines. The nearest substantial town is Genova, which provides the full range of city services and transport links. This inland part of Genoa province is known for Apennine woodland, small valley settlements and routes crossing between Liguria and the Po-side interior.
