At €85,000 for 65 m², the effective price is about €1,462/m² after allowing €100/m² for a refresh, over twice the €650/m² benchmark. Private parking for two cars, a 200 m² garden and proximity to Lucca add appeal, but the price is high for this segment.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Tuscan townhouse with beautiful exposed beams, terracotta floors, brick arches, traditional cabinetry, and a working kitchen and bathroom. The mountain-and-valley setting, private enclosed garden, parking, and preserved historic character make it feel like a real home rather than a renovation project.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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.
- The home is described as renovated but would benefit from cosmetic refreshing.
- Three-level layout with stairs may be less suitable for reduced mobility.
- The garden and outbuilding need some maintenance, and the outbuilding shows wear.
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 setting is an urban plain rather than open countryside. The Apuan Alps rise to the north-west and the Monte Pisano hills are to the south. The Serchio river crosses the Lucchese plain. Lucca is the nearest town of size and has complete city services, a walled historic centre and major churches. Lucca is known for its intact Renaissance walls and for its historic urban fabric.
