Listing states “due case da ristrutturare”; I estimate €1,100/m² renovation (200 m² → +€220,000), giving an effective price €625,000 or ~€3,125/m² versus the local median ~€500/m². Excellent sea-side location (0 km) but the effective €/m² is many times the regional median, so this is overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Lovely seaside property with a wisteria-covered pergola, paved courtyard, lemon trees and a flat 500 m² garden — and clear glimpses of the sea nearby. The buildings are solid and roofed but need a proper refurbishment inside; great potential for a family home or B&B given the location and garden.
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€79,000 – €117,000
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.
- Needs substantial interior renovation (cosmetic + likely systems work).
- Only one bathroom for the size (7 beds listed) — plumbing upgrade likely required.
- Close to railway/urban buildings — not a secluded rural location.
- Visible exterior plaster cracks and damp stains; some remedial work needed.
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 62/100The Maritime Alps rise immediately inland above the short coastal plain of the Nervia valley. The Mediterranean coast is about 2 km away, with the built-up Riviera strip running through Vallecrosia, Bordighera and Ventimiglia. The River Nervia flows through the area. Ventimiglia is the nearest larger town and has a rail station, services and the old hill town above the modern centre. Bordighera is the other nearby coastal town with beaches and a long seafront. The French border at Menton is a short drive to the west. The area is known for the western Ligurian flower-growing belt and for olive cultivation in the inland valleys.
