Asking €47,000 (≈€412/m²) for 114 m² in Borzonasca with garden, garage and terrace and 17 photos. I estimate €200/m² renovation (≈€22,800) so effective ≈€69,800 (≈€612/m²), above the regional median of €528/m², making it a fair but not exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
Charming stone-front townhouse with original shutters, a small private garden with barbecue/wood store and clear mountain/valley views — a very photogenic Ligurian village setting. The interior is solid and ready to live in (kitchen/sitting area, two bathrooms, cellar) but compact and finished in dark wood, so expect light modernisation rather than a full renovation. Good value for the price and ideal as a move-in country home near Chiavari and the coast.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interior is tight and low-ceilinged in places (loft bedroom) with a very steep stair — not ideal for mobility issues.
- Mostly lived-in/cosy condition that will benefit from cosmetic updating (lighting, finishes).
- Small front garden/yard and limited on-street parking at the gate.
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 cluster sits in the upper Sturla valley in the Ligurian Apennines. The Aveto Regional Natural Park begins nearby and covers the higher country inland around Monte Penna, Monte Aiona and the Aveto valley. The Sturla river runs through this area toward Chiavari. The nearest coast in daily use is the Tigullio shore around Chiavari and Lavagna. The nearest town of size is Chiavari, which has a full rail station, hospital and larger services. Santo Stefano d'Aveto, the main mountain centre inland, has the nearest ski lifts, about 35–45 minutes by road depending on the hamlet. The area is known for chestnut woods, beech forest, small mountain pastures and for the mushrooms and dairy produce of the Aveto interior.
