What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Assuming €200/m² to make it comfortably habitable, effective price is about €502/m² (€79.8k total) versus the local median €544/m², so this 159 m² country house looks like a modestly better-than-average value. The listing omits the property's condition and energy data.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roomy country house with a private garden and peaceful valley setting — a real, livable home rather than a ruin. Interiors are serviceable but dated, so it’s a bargain for someone who wants a move-in house they can modernize over time.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 is dated (old kitchen/bathroom/fixtures) and will need updating to modern standards.
- Property reached by ~1 km of unpaved (white) road — check access in bad weather.
- Heating/energy systems look old or unspecified — confirm utilities and replacement costs.
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 Aveto valley in the Ligurian Apennines. The Aveto stream flows through the valley. The Parco Naturale Regionale dell'Aveto lies in the local area and covers beech woods, mountain pastures and peaks over 1,500 m. Sections of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri and marked hiking trails cross the park. Small local ski slopes and lifts are at Santo Stefano d'Aveto (local resort), about a 20–30 minute drive. Within the surrounding 15 km are scattered mountain villages and agricultural land; the nearest larger town on the coast with a rail connection and broader services is Chiavari. The area has extensive chestnut and beech woodland and is used for pastoral mountain agriculture and freshwater trout fishing.
