What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €265/m², the €92,000 asking price is already above the weak €200/m² Liguria baseline; assuming substantial renovation for the 347 m², effective cost reaches about €965/m². The five-apartment layout is promising, but condition, habitability and key property details are missing, so this is not a compelling deal on the available facts.
More on the house and the area
A characterful Ligurian village palazzo with classic green shutters, traditional terrazzo floors, a balcony and substantial surrounding garden/woodland. Unlike a ruin, the apartments are roofed, furnished and clearly habitable, but the property needs modernization rather than being a polished move-in-ready 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 – €122,000
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 fully usable but very dated, with old kitchens, bathroom fittings, furnishings and finishes.
- The property comprises five apartments over three floors, so modernization and management could be substantial.
- The surrounding land appears overgrown and would need significant clearing and 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 72/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Apennines, with Monte Beigua and the surrounding ridge system within the local landscape. The Beigua Regional Nature Park lies in this area, covering a broad upland of woods, pasture and rocky viewpoints above the coast. The Orba valley is part of the immediate terrain around Sassello. The nearest ski lifts are the small facilities at Prato Nevoso and the Limone Piemonte area in the Maritime Alps, roughly 1.5 to 2 hours by road, so they are not part of the local landscape score. The nearest town of size is Savona on the coast, with port, rail services and the main range of urban services. Sassello is known for woodland scenery and for amaretti biscuits. Sassello is also listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia.
