What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 (€129/m²), the price looks very low, but the 350 m² post-war country house has no stated condition or energy data; assuming €700/m² renovation, effective cost is about €829/m² versus the €500/m² Liguria baseline. The 46 photos and large garage/terrace help, but the size and missing technical details make this a weak renovation proposition.
More on the house and the area
A substantial independent mountain house with a sunny stone-paved courtyard, balcony, green shutters, surrounding hills, and village views. It is a real, roofed and apparently usable home rather than a shell, but the interiors are old-fashioned, cluttered, and visibly in need of refurbishment. At €45,000 for roughly 350 sqm, its scale is a strong bargain, though not a move-in-ready dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€69,000 – €123,000
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.
- Interiors are heavily dated and cluttered, with widespread peeling paint and signs of damp.
- Substantial modernization and likely systems/heating upgrades may be needed.
- The large size and semi-rural mountain access could mean significant ongoing maintenance.
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 cluster is in the Ligurian Apennines, with the Monte Antola massif and the upper Trebbia valley within the local landscape. The area lies inside the Parco Naturale Regionale dell’Antola. Monte Antola is the main summit of the area and there are marked walking routes on the ridge and around the artificial Lago del Brugneto. The nearest town of some size is Torriglia, which has everyday services; Genova is the main city used for higher-order services but is well beyond the immediate landscape. This part of inland eastern Liguria is known for Apennine pasture, woodland and the Trebbia valley routes between Liguria and Emilia.
