Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 (€629/m²), the 143 m² house needs modernization; allowing roughly €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,329/m², far above the local €494/m² benchmark. New windows, independent gas heating, parking and a 2,000 m² olive grove help, but the remote setting and substantial renovation needs weaken the value.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €50,000
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 55/100Pistoia sits on the plain at the foot of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, with the first mountain valleys rising just to the north. The Ombrone Pistoiese crosses the area. The nearest larger centre is the city itself, which has a substantial historic centre, the Romanesque church of San Giovanni Fuorcivitas, the Ospedale del Ceppo and Piazza del Duomo. Pistoia is on the Via Francigena and its San Jacopo cult is linked to the Camino di Santiago tradition. The urban setting dominates the immediate surroundings more than any single named landscape feature within 15 km.
