Asking €345,000 for 190 m2 (1,816€/m2); with a modest refit of 200€/m2 the effective price is ~2,016€/m2, about 5.2× the local median of 387€/m2. Excellent sea proximity (1 km) and 27 photos are positives, but the listing omits condition/year/energy details and the price is well above the regional baseline.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful stone-faced villa with expansive terraces, olive-grove setting and sweeping sea/town views — very photogenic outside. The interior is spacious, equipped and clearly habitable, needing mainly cosmetic refreshing and minor maintenance before turnkey living.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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 needs cosmetic updating (scuffs, minor plaster cracks).
- Security bars on ground‑floor windows affect feeling and views.
- Elevated motorway/viaduct is visible from the terraces — check for noise/visual impact.
- Some exterior concrete edges show cracking — inspect roof/waterproofing and structure.
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 68/100The cluster is in the coastal hills above the Ligurian Sea, with olive terraces and short valleys running down to the Riviera di Ponente. The nearest coast is the stretch around San Lorenzo al Mare and Imperia, with small beaches and a built seafront. Imperia is the nearest town of size, with a port, a larger urban centre and full services. This part of western Liguria is known for Taggiasca olives and olive oil.
