What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 100 sqm, the asking price is €850/sqm; assuming basic habitable condition from the description, the effective cost is about €1,050/sqm including ~€200/sqm for updates. That is well above this catalog’s Toscana country-house baseline of €700/sqm, with only modest positives from the bifamiliare layout and garden.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home rather than a shell: it has floors, windows, radiators, a bathroom and decent room sizes. But the wow factor is low, with mostly plain interiors, some dated finishes, and an overgrown garden rather than a truly beautiful setting. At the price, it feels practical value more than dream-home magic.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Interiors are cluttered and tired, needing clear-out and cosmetic updating.
- Kitchen appears incomplete, so immediate move-in readiness is limited.
- Garden/outdoor area looks overgrown and may need substantial maintenance.
- Photos do not show any notable view or exterior charm.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Montagna Pistoiese, on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. The Lima river valley and the ridges around Abetone and Libro Aperto shape the area within this part of the mountains. Part of the area falls in or near the Abetone Cutigliano section of the Parco nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano. The nearest ski lifts are at Doganaccia above Cutigliano and at Abetone, both roughly 20–35 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Pistoia is the nearest city of size for daily services and rail connections. The area is known for chestnut woods, beech forest, mountain villages and winter sports around Abetone.
