Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €420/m², the €95,000 asking price is modest against the €484/m² local benchmark, but allowing roughly €45,000 for an unspecified condition brings the effective cost to about €620/m². The listing describes a spacious three-bedroom country villa with garden, parking and pool, though it does not state whether the property is habitable or recently renovated.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, furnished country house set in beautiful private woodland, with mature trees, a pergola, outdoor barbecue kitchen, parking, and a glimpse toward wooded mountain scenery. The home looks genuinely livable rather than a renovation shell, with a working-feeling fireplace, finished floors, shutters, and a welcoming dining room, though the interiors are old-fashioned and would benefit from modernization.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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 appear solid and usable but distinctly dated, with likely cosmetic updating needed.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 226 sqm, three-bedroom house.
- The heavily wooded setting may mean ongoing garden maintenance and potentially more remote access.
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 is in the lower Ligurian Alps, in the valley of the Lerrone stream, with wooded slopes, olive groves and small ridge villages. The nearest coast is the Riviera di Ponente around Albenga and Alassio, but it is outside the 15 km landscape radius and does not count as the setting itself. Albenga is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services. This part of western Liguria is known for olive cultivation and for inland villages linked to the coastal plain.
