At €1,000/m² before any allowance for updates, this €100,000 apartment is about 36% above the local €736/m² benchmark; budgeting roughly €200/m² for its older energy profile gives an effective cost near €1,200/m². Its central Fivizzano location, recent systems and window replacements, parking, cellar and shared outdoor space support livability, but the price is not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
A solid, genuinely livable 100 sqm apartment with a functional kitchen, finished bathroom, two bedrooms, and a pleasant paved outdoor area. The mountain glimpse adds some setting appeal, but this is a practical small-town home rather than a highly characterful or spectacular Italian property.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 fully usable and appear in good condition, but the finishes and furnishings are dated and conventional.
- The outdoor space is shared with the other condominium residents rather than private.
- Energy class G may mean higher heating costs and future efficiency work.
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 north Apuan Alps rise immediately around Fivizzano, with the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines close to the east. The area is cut by the Rosaro and Aulella valleys, tributaries of the Magra basin. Part of the territory falls within the Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano, and the Apuan Alps Regional Park is also nearby on this side of Lunigiana. Cerreto Laghi and the Cerreto Pass ski area are the nearest established lifts, roughly an hour to an hour and a quarter away by road depending on the hamlet. Fivizzano itself is a small service centre with a historic core, and Aulla is the nearest larger town in the valley with rail connections and supermarkets. The wider Lunigiana area is known for stone villages, chestnut country, and a dense scatter of castles, with Pontremoli and other centres of the Magra valley not far away.
