What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

At €95,000 for 100 sqm, the ask is €950/sqm; with habitable-condition allowance of about €200/sqm, effective cost is roughly €1,150/sqm versus a very low stock baseline of €408/sqm in Emilia Romagna villas. The mountain-park setting and decent features help a bit, but 415 days on market is a clear negative and suggests buyers have not accepted this price.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable mountain home with private outdoor space and a pleasant chalet-style exterior set in woodland. Inside it looks solid, heated and immediately habitable, with fireplaces and timber details, but the finishes are modest and dated rather than dream-home beautiful. The appeal is more cozy nature retreat than visual knockout.
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 – €11,000
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 dated and fairly plain rather than special.
- Mountain setting is green and secluded, but the photos do not prove a big open panoramic view.
- Attic/upper spaces have sloped ceilings and limited usability.
- Semi-basement taverna/garage area feels functional, not polished living space.
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 74/100The area lies in the northern Tuscan Apennines, with the Apuan Alps close to the west and the Apennine ridges around the Lunigiana valleys. The Rosaro valley and the upper course of the Aulella river are part of the local landscape, and the Magra basin is the wider valley system of the area. The Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano is nearby on the eastern side of the Fivizzano territory, and the Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane is nearby to the west. The nearest ski area is Cerreto Laghi, reached by mountain road in about an hour. Fivizzano itself is the main local centre, while Aulla is the nearest larger service town in the Lunigiana with rail links and wider everyday services. The area is known for the stone villages and hill settlements of Lunigiana and for the route corridors between Tuscany, Liguria and Emilia.
