What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
29,000€ for 40 m² = 725€/m²; estimated renovation ~200€/m² gives an effective ~925€/m², well above the Liguria median of 532€/m², so this is priced high despite the garden, terrace and 33m² cellar; the listing omits condition/energy/year and room count has a small mismatch.
More on the house and the area
Handy, livable little semi‑independent home with a private terrace/garden, brick oven/BBQ area and a spacious cellar. The mountain/wooded valley views and outdoor entertaining spaces give real charm; interiors are basic but usable, so a light refresh would make this a lovely affordable mountain bolt‑hole.
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€3,000 – €4,000
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.
- Very small (40 m²) — one bedroom and compact living space.
- Exterior and garden are overgrown and the metal railing/terrace need maintenance.
- Interior is dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating for full comfort.
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 72/100The Ligurian Apennines surround Torriglia, with wooded ridges and passes at the head of the Trebbia valley. The Trebbia rises in this area, and the upper valley is one of the main landscape features within reach. The Parco naturale regionale dell'Antola lies here, centred on Monte Antola and the high meadows and forests above the village. There are no major ski lifts locally; the nearest small Apennine ski areas are in the inland Genovese-Piacentino zone and are minor. Genoa is the nearest large city, reached over the inland passes, with full city services, rail hubs and the port. The area is known in Liguria for mountain walking, chestnut woods and the Canestrelletto di Torriglia biscuit tradition.
