Effective price ≈ €1,517/m² (€98k + ~€84k renovation at €700/m²) versus local median €528/m², so the all-in price is well above market. The house needs renovation (roof redone ~10 years ago) and is 1 km from the sea, but that premium does not justify the high effective €/m².
More on the house and the area
Generous 120 sqm semi-detached house with a private garden, balcony and a genuine sea view — very desirable Ligurian setting a short drive to Diano Marina. The roof was redone ~10 years ago and the building feels solid, but the interiors need substantial renovation (gutted bathroom, cracked plaster, some bricked rooms) so this is a strong fixer with real liveable bones rather than a move‑in ready home.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Requires substantial interior renovation — kitchen and bathrooms need replacing and many rooms need finishing
- Visible wall cracks and some bricked-up/internal partitioning — get a structural/plumbing inspection
- Balcony/railings and external finishes need repair (scaffolding visible)
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 lower valley behind Diano Marina, with the Ligurian Alps rising inland and short olive-covered hills between the village and the sea. The Ligurian Sea and the beaches of the Golfo Dianese are within a few kilometres. This part of western Liguria is known for olive groves and olive oil, especially the Taggiasca cultivar. Imperia is the nearest larger town, with a full range of services and a working harbour. Cervo, on the same gulf, is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia.
