Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Immediately habitable farmhouse with 62 m², two bathrooms, a terrace and good roof, floors and windows; estimated effective cost is about €875/m². That is substantially above the local comparison level of €483/m², so the charming setting and proximity to Massa do not make this a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, immediately usable village home with a beautiful stone-and-cotto interior, working fireplace, fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, and strong rustic character. The sea and mountain views are exceptional, especially at sunset, while the pedestrian-only borgo setting adds peace and authenticity. It is small and stair-heavy, but at €75,000 it offers a rare combination of condition, character, and scenery.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Access is pedestrian-only, with parking outside the village.
- The home is compact and distributed over three levels with spiral stairs.
- 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 82/100The Apuan Alps rise immediately above Seravezza, with Monte Altissimo and the marble mountains of the Alta Versilia within the local landscape. The Versilia plain and the Vezza and Serra streams meet here before the short run to the coast. The Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane begins in the mountains just inland. The nearest ski lifts are the small Abetone area, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes away by road, so they are not part of the immediate setting. Pietrasanta is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services, and Viareggio and Lucca are the larger nearby urban centres for daily needs. Medicean sites at Seravezza form part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing for the Medici Villas and Gardens of Tuscany. This area is known for marble quarries, the foothills of the Apuan Alps, and the transition from mountain valleys to the Versilia coast.
