What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 55 sqm of living space, the ask is about €1,636/sqm; with a typical 'needs renovation' allowance of ~€700/sqm, effective cost is ~€2,336/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €650/sqm. The huge terrace and 75 sqm of cellar add utility, but the price still looks high for a small hill hamlet unit that is only partially renovated and needs interior completion.
More on the house and the area
The stone borgo setting is very appealing, with a huge terrace and lovely rooftop-and-hills views that give it real Tuscan dream value. But inside it is only partly finished: some rooms are basic and usable-looking, while others show damage, missing finishes and clear renovation needs. This is a characterful house with strong potential, not a polished move-in-ready dream home yet.
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€11,000 – €20,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 66/100The cluster is in the hills east of Lucca on the lower slopes of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. The area is cut by the Pescia di Collodi and other small valleys, with chestnut woodland, olive groves and terraced hillsides. The nearest larger town is Lucca, with full services and a major historic centre enclosed by Renaissance walls. Collodi is nearby, with the old village on the hill and the Villa Garzoni complex. Montecatini Terme is also close enough for daily services and rail connections. This part of the Lucchesia is known for paper mills, olive oil and the Pinocchio connection at Collodi.
