See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('asta immobiliare'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog. The lot also includes mixed assets and partial ownership of one area ('Area urbana proprietà 1/2'), so despite the €46,125 price, it is not a clean standard home purchase.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a real, habitable little Tuscan home rather than a shell, with a covered outdoor sitting area, rustic fireplace, terracotta-style ceiling and lots of quirky character. The countryside setting is pleasant and green, but not truly spectacular, and the house appears cramped and dated rather than polished. At the price, it has genuine charm and usability, but it is more of a tiny eccentric cottage than a full dream-home scroll stopper.
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€2,000 – €4,000
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.
- Very small home at only 32 sqm.
- Interiors are cluttered and highly personalized, so it may feel tighter than the photos suggest.
- Auction sale: legal/status details and exact property composition should be checked carefully.
- Some exterior/shared-area aspects are unclear from the photos, including the 1/2 urban area ownership.
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 58/100The cluster lies on the Monte Albano hills between the Valdinievole plain and the Pistoia plain. The Nievole basin and the Padule di Fucecchio wetlands are within this area. Montecatini Terme is the nearest substantial town, with thermal establishments and rail connections, and Pistoia is also close with a large historic centre and services. This part of Tuscany is known for olive groves on the lower hills, nurseries and market gardening on the plain, and spa towns in the Valdinievole.
