I estimate full renovation at about €700/m² → renovation ≈ €150,500, so effective price ≈ €235,500 or ~€1,095/m² versus the regional median €487/m². The house is a large stone rustic with two renovation projects and sea 7 km away, but the heavy upgrade cost makes the deal overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful stone farmhouse with original arches, vaults, spiral stone stairs, two terraces and a private courtyard — very photogenic and characterful. The structure appears solid and roofed but the interiors are a rough shell, so this is a renovate-to-dream-home opportunity rather than move-in ready.
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€43,000 – €76,000
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.

- Property is a shell that needs a full renovation (internal finishes, utilities, bathrooms/kitchen).
- Only one existing bathroom shown; internal layout will likely need substantial reworking.
- Confirm roof condition/structural stability and local permit/heritage rules before purchase.
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 Albenga plain between the Ligurian Sea and the first Ligurian Alps. The Centa river crosses Albenga and reaches the sea here. The Island of Gallinara lies just off the coast opposite Albenga. The area is known for its broad agricultural plain with vegetable growing and vineyards, unusual on this stretch of the Ligurian coast, and for Albenga’s preserved historic centre with medieval towers and Roman remains. Alassio is nearby and provides the nearest established seaside resort facilities and marina. The inland valleys rise quickly toward the Ligurian Alps, but the strongest mountain scenery is farther inland than the immediate 15 km radius.
