The listing is not actually renovated: at €70,000 for 120 sqm (€583/sqm) it is explicitly 'da finire di ristrutturare', so the effective cost is about €1,283/sqm after ~€700/sqm to complete the works. That is roughly 2.0x the Lucca/Toscana baseline of €650/sqm, with some positives from the new roof/facade/floors and location 2 km from Lucca's walls, but overall it looks ordinary-to-weak at this asking price.
More on the house and the area
This has some authentic stone character inside and the structural work seems substantially done, with roof, facade and floors reportedly renewed. But it is still a shell-in-progress rather than a usable home, with raw rooms, incomplete openings and no finished living spaces yet. At €70k near Lucca the location has appeal, but the wow is limited until the renovation is completed.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.
- Still an unfinished renovation; interiors are raw and not yet habitable
- No finished kitchen or bathroom visible
- Exterior is plain and some window openings are still incomplete
- Published condition looks overstated versus the photos
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Lucca, so the resident setting is the city rather than open countryside. The Apuan Alps rise to the north-west within this part of the province. The Serchio river plain runs beside the city. Lucca has a complete ring of Renaissance walls around the historic centre, a large stock of churches and towers, and regular city services, rail links and shops. The area is known for the walled old city and for olive hills and villas on the nearby Lucchesia slopes.
