In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Effective cost ≈ €1,012/m² (price €69,000 + €17,000 renovation = €86,000 over 85 m²) vs regional median €530/m², so it is priced well above local comparables. Main house is described as habitable but a 40 m² dependance needs complete restoration and the house is reached on foot (~150 m from parking).
More on the house and the area
A characterful, habitable Ligurian townhouse with exposed beams, a vaulted stone cellar and generous terraces overlooking wooded hills and olive trees. The main house is ready to live in with great outdoor space, while the front depandance requires complete renovation — a compelling, low‑priced buy if you accept a short walk from parking and the shared‑access terrace.
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.
- Property is reached on foot only (≈150 m from the parking)
- Small depandance (~40 m²) is a full renovation project
- One terrace is subject to a third‑party right of way
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 63/100The cluster is in the inland valleys behind La Spezia, with wooded Apennine ridges and the Vara valley landscape within reach. The Vara river runs through this part of the province. The Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park is nearby in the lower Magra and Vara system. The nearest larger town is La Spezia, which has full services, a port and rail connections. This part of eastern Liguria is known for olive groves, chestnut woods and small stone villages in the folds between the coast and the Apennines. The Cinque Terre and the Gulf of La Spezia are nearby for day-to-day logistics, but they are outside the immediate inland landscape here.
