What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 (€275/m²), this 360 m² farmhouse requires full renovation; estimated all-in cost is about €495,000, or €1,375/m², well above the €500/m² local benchmark. The listing does not say when it was built or provide a formal condition assessment, adding uncertainty.
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€143,000 – €211,000
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.
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 55/100The cluster sits on the Pistoia plain at the southern edge of the Tuscan‑Emilian Apennines with wooded foothills rising a few kilometres to the north. There are no large lakes inside 15 km; small streams and river channels drain the plain and the nearby hill country. The Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Tosco‑Emiliano lies further into the higher Apennines to the north, beyond the immediate foothills. Nearest ski areas and lifts are at Cutigliano and Abetone, roughly a 50–70 minute drive depending on traffic. Within about 15 km are Montecatini Terme (thermal spa town with tourist services and an important train junction) and Pescia (market town with a local historic centre and a plant‑nursery economy). Pistoia is a provincial capital with a medieval cathedral and baptistery, Ospedale del Ceppo, a railway station with direct trains to Florence and Lucca, and standard municipal services. The area around Pistoia and Pescia is a major Italian plant‑nursery and horticulture district. The A11 Firenze‑Mare motorway runs close to the city, giving fast road links to Florence and Pisa.
