At €89,000 for 111 m², the estimated all-in cost is about €1,000/m² after allowance for habitable-condition works, versus roughly €650/m² for similar local homes. The panoramic terrace, central village location, two bathrooms and outdoor spaces add appeal, but the price is not discounted enough for this market.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, livable Tuscan village house with handsome historic stonework, traditional shutters, a fireplace, and an unusually generous planted courtyard. The home is furnished and functional rather than polished, but it offers real character and outdoor living potential instead of being a renovation shell.
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 – €12,000
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 fully habitable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The narrow cobbled village setting may limit car access and parking.
- The advertised panoramic valley view is not clearly visible in the supplied photos.
- Energy class is not provided.
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 sits in the first relief of the Apuan Alps and the Serchio valley hill country. The Serchio river corridor is within this area, and the higher Apuan ridges rise nearby to the north and west. Part of this territory falls in the Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane. The nearest substantial town is Lucca, which has a complete walled historic centre and full services. The Versilia coast and the ski lifts of the Apuan and Apennine side are reachable by car, but they are outside the immediate landscape and do not affect the score. This part of north-west Tuscany is known for wooded hills, stone villages, chestnut country and olive terraces on the lower slopes.
