What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Effective price ≈ €1,800/m² (€240k + est. €200/m² renovation) vs regional median ≈ €544/m² — a strong seaside premium makes this well above typical stock. The listing omits condition, energy class and building year, which lowers confidence.
More on the house and the area
Lovely terraced olive grove setting above a classic Ligurian village with real sea glimpses and an atmospheric church and colourful houses nearby. The building is a solid, roofed home (not a ruin) so it’s realistically liveable after modest renovation. Best for buyers who value outdoor space, village character and closeness to the coast but can accept narrow access and some updating.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- House is structurally complete but shows signs of wear and building materials — needs cosmetic updating and likely some renovation (roof/finishes).
- Access is on narrow village lanes and steps, so parking and large-vehicle access will be limited.
- Sea is visible as a distant/glimpsed view from the hillside, not a direct waterfront setting; only one bathroom listed for the 150 m² house.
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 58/100The cluster is in the wooded hills of the Ligurian Apennines above the Fontanabuona area. The Lavagna basin is nearby, and the coast around Recco, Camogli and Rapallo is the nearest sea access but it lies outside the immediate inland landscape. Genoa is the nearest large city, with full services, port and rail connections. This part of eastern Genova province is known for scattered hamlets, chestnut and mixed woodland, and small valley roads rather than for a single protected or monumental landscape inside the immediate area.
