Price €33,000 plus a full‑renovation allowance of €1,100/m² (≈€77k) gives an effective price ≈€1571/m², well above the regional baseline of €691/m². The 3,000 m² plot is valuable but does not offset the very high all‑in cost for a completely to‑restore house.
More on the house and the area
A small 70 m² single‑storey building sits in about 3,000 m² of private, wooded grounds with charming pergola, paths and a rustic bridge — the setting is the main attraction. The house itself is a rough shell with cracked plaster, basic floors and a corrugated roof and will need a full renovation, so this is a true bargain project rather than a ready-to-live home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €41,000
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 advertised as 'completely to renovate' — not move‑in ready
- Interiors are rough/partially unfinished with exposed brick, worn plaster and likely no modern services
- Roof appears to be corrugated sheet and may need replacement — structural survey advised
- Access via gravel drive; some outdoor maintenance required
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 61/100The cluster is in the lower Vara valley between the Ligurian Apennine hills and the Gulf of La Spezia. The Vara river runs nearby. The Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park is within the local area around the Magra estuary and lower valley. La Spezia is the nearest town of size, with a port, rail station and full services. The area is tied to the Gulf of La Spezia and the eastern Ligurian coast, but the better-known cliff coast of the Cinque Terre is farther away and does not sit around Follo itself.
