At €90,000 (€629/m²), the asking price is already above comparable Tuscan stock; allowing about €28,600 for a habitable-home refresh brings the effective cost to roughly €829/m² versus €555/m². The garden, terrace, fireplace, cellar and panoramic setting add appeal, but the inland location 18 km from the sea limits the premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable Tuscan home with a beautifully maintained garden, large terrace, and exceptional Apennine mountain views. The house is bright and solid, with attractive woodwork, marble stairs, traditional floors, heating, and some exposed stone character, though the interiors are dated rather than luxurious. At €90,000 for 143 sqm in the Lunigiana, the combination of space, scenery, and outdoor living is highly compelling.
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 – €16,000
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.
- Interiors are clean and usable but dated, with basic finishes and little visible furnishing.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 143 sqm, three-bedroom home.
- Access appears to be through a narrow historic village lane; parking is not shown.
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 74/100The cluster is in the Lunigiana, with the northern Tuscan Apennines and the Apuan Alps within the 15 km landscape. The Rosaro and Pizzo d’Uccello area lies nearby, and the territory around Fivizzano reaches into the Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano. The nearest ski area is Zum Zeri, roughly an hour by road. Fivizzano is the main small town in the area, with a substantial historic centre, a main piazza and services for the upper Lunigiana. The wider area is known for stone villages, chestnut country and mountain routes between Tuscany, Liguria and Emilia.
