At €30,000 (€125/m²), the estimated all-in cost is about €198,000, or €825/m² after allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation—well above the local €530/m² benchmark. The listing presents two independent apartments and ample ancillary space, but does not state their condition; the remote inland location and energy class G add uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
A substantial Ligurian village townhouse with old balconies, shutters, tiled roofs, and a peaceful wooded setting, offered at an unusually low price. The roof and overall structure appear present, and the plans show kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and multiple living spaces, but the weathered exterior and lack of interior photos make this a renovation-minded home rather than a ready-made dream house.
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€48,000 – €84,000
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.
- Exterior plaster and finishes look substantially weathered and likely need renovation.
- Interior condition, utilities, heating, and actual move-in readiness are not shown.
- The listing includes extensive cellar/semi-basement areas, which may reduce the genuinely usable living space.
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 Val Bormida, with wooded Ligurian Apennine hills and low mountains around it. The Bormida di Millesimo valley is the main local river landscape. The nearest larger town is Cairo Montenotte, which has the main services and rail links for this inland part of Savona province. Finale Ligure on the coast is outside the 15 km landscape radius but is the nearest substantial coastal town for daily access to the sea. This part of inland western Liguria is known for chestnut woods, mixed hill farming and small villages linked to the old routes between the coast and Piedmont.
