Livable, but something basic is worn out

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 only partial ownership of one asset ('Area urbana proprietà 1/2') plus mixed non-residential components (canopy, land, deposito), so despite the €46,126 ask the listing is not a clean livable-home purchase.
More on the house and the area
This feels like a real tiny Tuscan home rather than a shell: furnished, roofed, with fireplace, bathroom and usable outdoor space. The countryside setting and quirky character give it charm, but the house is very small and the interiors need refreshing rather than inspiring immediate dream-home wow.
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 habitable but dated and quite cluttered.
- Auction sale: condition/details should be checked carefully in court documents.
- Rural setting may mean car-dependent access and services.
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.
