Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Assuming habitable condition with ~200 €/m² works (31,000 €) yields an effective price of ~120,000 € or ~774 €/m², well above the Liguria baseline of 480 €/m², so this is a premium-priced country house despite 52 photos and a detailed description; the listing is 25 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
An intact, independent village house with real mountain/valley views and traditional character — the balcony looks over a misty Ligurian valley. Interiors are fully habitable (kitchen, bathroom, solid stairs and radiators visible) but cluttered and dated, so it’s a livable home that will benefit from cleaning and cosmetic updating.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Some rooms currently used as storage/cluttered — needs declutter and cosmetic refresh
- No obvious private garden; outdoor space is a small balcony only
- Photos don’t show roof/structural state or full heating details — check 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 75/100The cluster sits in the Ligurian Apennines at the foot of Monte Maggiorasca and Monte Bue, in the Aveto valley. The Aveto river runs through this area. Much of the surrounding landscape falls within the Aveto Regional Natural Park. The nearest ski lifts are at Rocca d’Aveto on Monte Bue, a short drive from the village. Santo Stefano d’Aveto itself is the main service centre in the upper valley, with a small historic core and the remains of the Malaspina castle. The area is known for high Apennine pastures and woods, mushrooms, and the Santo Stefano d’Aveto summer pasture cheese.
