What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €12,000 (€185/m²), the rustic three-level house appears to need renovation; using €700/m² gives an effective cost of about €57,500 (€885/m²), well above the Liguria country-house baseline of €500/m². The zero-bathroom listing and missing condition data add uncertainty, while the remote location offers no clear premium.
More on the house and the area
The colorful Ligurian village setting and glimpses of wooded hills provide some charm, with a distinctive steep hillside-lane location. However, the interiors are raw and cluttered, with no bathroom or kitchen visible, so this is a major renovation project rather than a usable 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€13,000 – €23,000
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.
- This is an uninhabitable renovation shell, with bare concrete floors and unfinished walls.
- No bathroom or kitchen is shown, and utilities/electrical systems appear incomplete.
- Access is via steep, narrow pedestrian lanes and exterior stairs.
- Roof structure and moisture condition require careful professional inspection.
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 58/100The cluster is in the valleys behind Genoa, with the Ligurian Apennines on the immediate horizon. The Bisagno river system shapes this area, with wooded slopes, narrow side valleys and scattered hamlets. The nearest substantial city is Genoa, with the full range of services, a major port, rail connections and airport access. The upper Bisagno and nearby inland valleys are known for chestnut woods, small terraced areas and the transition from the coast to the Apennine ridge.
