At €93,000 (€1,081/m²) and sold in an advanced but unfinished renovation state, estimated completion costs of about €43,000 bring the effective price to roughly €1,581/m², far above the €616/m² local reference. The listing does not say when the home will be habitable or provide energy and construction details, so the remaining work carries meaningful uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
The exposed river-stone walls, timber beams and traditional terracotta roof give this house genuine Tuscan character. However, it is still an active renovation site rather than a usable home, with unfinished floors, raw masonry and no demonstrated completed services or bathroom.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Major renovation is still unfinished, with raw walls, incomplete floors and exposed structural work.
- No finished kitchen or bathroom is shown, so immediate livability is uncertain.
- The private garden is detached from the house and appears modest at about 28 m².
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Pistoia, so the setting is an urban plain at the foot of the Pistoiese Apennines rather than open countryside. The Ombrone Pistoiese crosses the city. The mountains rise to the north toward the Montagna Pistoiese, but they are outside the immediate urban setting. Pistoia itself has a substantial historic centre with the Romanesque church of San Giovanni Fuorcivitas, the Cathedral of San Zeno and Piazza del Duomo. The city is known for its nursery industry.
