Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €525/m², the asking price is about 20% below comparable Tuscan townhouses (€654/m²). The home is described as habitable immediately, but allowing roughly €16,000 for modest works brings the effective cost to about €725/m²; garden, garage, cellar and parking strengthen the offer.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, immediately usable Tuscan stone townhouse with strong historic character, a small garden, garage, cellar, and parking. The interiors are old-fashioned rather than beautifully renovated, but the house has a real kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, floors, and working domestic setup. At €42,000, it offers a particularly compelling combination of livability, stone architecture, and outdoor space.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 but distinctly dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Heating appears to rely mainly on a wood-burning stove.
- The garden is attractive but modest and somewhat rustic; no major panoramic view is 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 68/100The cluster is in the northern Tuscan Apennines, with wooded ridges and valley slopes around Comano and the upper Lunigiana. The Taverone valley is the local landscape, and the Magra basin is close by. The area is associated with the Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano on the Apennine crest to the east. Cerreto Laghi, the nearest established ski area on the Apennine pass, is roughly an hour's drive. Aulla is the nearest larger service town, with rail links and the main shops and services of the Lunigiana. Lunigiana is known for stone villages, chestnut country and a dense spread of medieval castles across its valleys.
