Asking €100,000 for 80 m² plus estimated renovation €700/m² (≈€56,000) gives an effective cost of ≈€156,000 or ~€1,950/m², well above the local median of €487/m²; good positives (large 1,050 m² garden, garage, 34 photos) don’t offset the high effective price and distance ~6 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
Solid, livable 1980s two‑storey house set behind a gated drive with a very private, flat 1,050 m² garden and mature trees — a peaceful spot only a few kilometres from the sea. Rooms and the covered terrace are functional now but the property is dated and would reward a cosmetic and systems update to become a comfortable permanent 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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs renovation — plumbing/electrics/finishes will likely need updating
- Interior is dated (1980s fixtures, terrazzo/old tiles)
- Garage is a basic metal structure; verify energy class and utilities
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 78/100The Ligurian Apennines rise immediately inland, with Monte Beigua and the Beigua massif within about 15 km of this area. The Teiro and Arrestra streams cut short valleys towards the Ligurian Sea. Beigua Regional Nature Park lies nearby and covers a large part of the mountain hinterland above the coast. The nearest coast is the Riviera di Ponente around Varazze and Celle Ligure, with beaches, a marina and the usual services of a substantial seaside town. Genoa is the nearest big city for higher-level services and transport. Beigua is known for upland pastures, beech woods and wide sea-to-mountain views, and the Varazze area is known for the Ligurian coast and access into the Beigua hinterland.
