Asking €59,000 for 87 m² (678 €/m²); assuming modest works at ~200 €/m² gives a total ≈ €76,400 (≈878 €/m²). The listing has 21 photos, central village location and pool/terrace which support credibility, but the regional baseline (205 €/m²) is from a small sample (27) so compare cautiously.
More on the house and the area
Lovely, characterful village house with restored interiors (wood beam ceilings, tiled floors, neat bathroom) and photogenic stone arches, a sunny balcony and green hillside views. Mostly move‑in on the main floors, but the upper level is left raw and will need finishing to maximize the space.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Upper level/attic area is partially unfinished (exposed rubble walls) and needs completion.
- Main flat is compact with a basic kitchenette — some personalization/fit‑out likely required.
- Ground‑floor frontage opens onto the village street so expect limited privacy and possible street noise.
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 67/100The cluster sits in the upper Arroscia valley in the Ligurian Alps, with wooded ridges and narrow valley slopes around the town. The Arroscia river runs through Pieve di Teco. The Ligurian coast at Imperia is outside the immediate landscape but is the nearest sea access for daily life. The nearest larger centre is Imperia, with full services and rail connections on the coast. This part of western Liguria is known for olive growing in the lower valleys and for mountain roads leading toward Colle di Nava and the inland villages of the Arroscia valley.
