This is an auction lot sold as a 7/9 share of a 16 m² rural building described as "parzialmente diruto" with photos stated as indicative only. I estimate full restoration ≈€1,100/m² → effective price ≈€19,861 total (≈€1,241/m²) vs regional baseline €500/m², so this is overpriced and comes with auction/ownership complications.
More on the house and the area
The pictures show beautiful, fully finished interiors and a photogenic historic façade with a bit of private outdoor space, but the official description calls the building partially derelict and the images may be illustrative only. This looks like a high‑potential, seaside bargain — more a renovation/auction project than a ready-to-move-in dream 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€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- Listing states the photos are indicative and may NOT be images of the actual property.
- Property description says 'fabbricato rurale parzialmente diruto' (partially derelict) — likely needs significant work.
- Very small: only ~16.4 m² (tiny living space) and the sale is via auction with complex ownership (7/9 share).
- Inconsistencies between photos and facts (bath, finish, utilities) — actual condition/amenities are uncertain.
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 70/100The cluster sits on the Ligurian coast, part of the Riviera di Ponente often called the Riviera dei Fiori. The coastal plain is narrow and the land rises quickly into the Ligurian/Maritime Alps a few kilometres inland. The River Impero runs to the sea at Imperia. The town of Imperia provides a railway station on the Genoa–Ventimiglia coastal line, access to the A10 motorway (Autostrada dei Fiori) and a commercial port/marina and local services. The area is known for small-scale fishing ports, boat marinas and cultivation of Taggiasca olives and olive oil production, and for horticulture/flower production associated with the Riviera dei Fiori.
