What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 115 sqm, the asking price is about €652/sqm, essentially in line with the low-stock baseline of €650/sqm in Tuscany; with partial renovation still needed, especially the top floor still to be redone, the effective cost is roughly €1,002/sqm. Good photo count and authentic features help, but the extra capanna to restore and rural hill location keep this from being a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable Tuscan stone townhouse with character touches like exposed beams, stone stairs and a valley-facing balcony. The main living areas and kitchen look habitable now, but it is only partially renovated and some rooms still need proper finishing, so it feels more charming-and-livable than full dream-home polished. The land, little vineyard and low €/m² price add strong romantic appeal.
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, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €23,000
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.
- Top floor is still to be renovated.
- Some service/storage areas show rough unfinished walls and patchy finishes.
- Photos do not prove the exterior/capanna condition clearly.
- Village setting is quiet but shops are about 5 km away.
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 71/100The cluster is in the Lima valley in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, with wooded slopes and narrow side valleys around Bagni di Lucca. The Lima river runs through the area, and the Serchio valley is close by toward Borgo a Mozzano. The area lies near the borders of the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano and Alpi Apuane mountain systems, though the immediate setting is the inland valley landscape rather than the highest ridges. Abetone, the nearest main ski area, is roughly 35–40 km away by road, typically around an hour’s drive depending on the exact hamlet. The nearest town of some size is Lucca, which has a complete walled historic centre and full services. Bagni di Lucca is known as a historic spa town, with thermal baths and 19th-century villa development tied to that role. The wider valley toward Borgo a Mozzano is also known for the Ponte della Maddalena, the bridge often called Ponte del Diavolo.
