See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €75,000 asking price plus an estimated €65,800 renovation puts the effective cost near €1,498/m², well above the €646/m² local comparison level. The house requires renovation and has no clear location premium at 44 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, bright terratetto with original-style flooring, a fireplace mantel, high ceilings, and several usable rooms. It is a real house rather than a ruin, with a functioning-looking bathroom and solid floors, but it needs meaningful updating and has little visual drama beyond its modest period character.
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€18,000 – €33,000
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.
- Clearly dated and advertised as needing renovation, with wall and ceiling cracks visible.
- The kitchen appears functional in layout but lacks fitted cabinetry and appliances.
- No exterior, garden, or scenic view is shown; the single bathroom may be limiting for four bedrooms.
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 58/100The cluster lies in the Valdinievole plain at the edge of the Padule di Fucecchio, the large inland marsh shared by the provinces of Pistoia and Florence. Montecatini Terme is the nearest larger town and has railway stations, thermal establishments and the main services for the area. The lower slopes of Montecatini Alto and the Montalbano hill country are close by, while Pistoia, Lucca and Florence are reachable for work or services but sit beyond the immediate landscape. The area is known for the spa towns of Montecatini and Monsummano and for the Fucecchio marshland environment.
