At €878/m², the estimated all-in cost is about €1,078/m² after allowing €22,000 for routine work on a habitable 110 m² apartment, versus a local reference of €730/m². The garage, cellar, terrace, heating and strong presentation help, but the inland location and the listing’s failure to state the bathroom count weaken the value.
More on the house and the area
A very appealing, house-like Tuscan property with a sunny yellow exterior, flower-filled garden, olive tree, mountain backdrop, garage, and attractive stone arches and timber details. The interiors are fully finished and apparently habitable, with functioning kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, heating, and wood floors, although they are heavily cluttered and visually dated. It feels like a real home rather than a renovation shell, with strong dream-living appeal at this price level.
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 – €12,000
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.
- Interior photos show substantial clutter, so the true finish and maintenance level should be checked in person.
- The listing gives no bathroom count in the facts despite showing a bathroom; verify layout, title status, and any auction-related legal issues.
- Confirm the exact garden/terrace ownership and access arrangements, since this is legally described as an apartment.
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 Lima river valley and the ridges around Abetone and Libro Aperto shape the area within this part of the mountains. Part of the area falls in or near the Abetone Cutigliano section of the Parco nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano. The nearest ski lifts are at Doganaccia above Cutigliano and at Abetone, both roughly 20–35 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Pistoia is the nearest city of size for daily services and rail connections. The area is known for chestnut woods, beech forest, mountain villages and winter sports around Abetone.
