In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 (€455/m²), the 110 m² habitable townhouse is attractively priced, though allowing roughly €22,000 for updates brings the effective cost to about €655/m², close to comparable local homes. Its historic-center setting, cellar, heating and functioning appliances add value, while the remote hill-borgo location limits the upside.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Tuscan borgo townhouse with a spectacular mountain-and-valley panorama, traditional stone walls, wood ceilings, terracotta floors, and a real fireplace. The kitchen, bathroom, heating, bedrooms, and furnishings make it usable immediately, though the interiors are old-fashioned and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
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 habitable but visibly dated, with worn finishes and some wall blemishes.
- The house is spread over three levels with many steep stairs, which may be inconvenient for everyday living.
- No private garden or terrace is shown; parking is in the village area with a walk along the historic lane.
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 62/100The cluster is on the slopes of the Pistoiese Apennines. The Nievole valley and the spa town of Montecatini Terme are immediately below, and Pistoia is the nearest larger town with full services and a historic centre. The area is known for chestnut woods, olive groves on the lower slopes, and dispersed stone hamlets on the ridge roads. Abetone and the main ski lifts of the upper Pistoiese Apennines are roughly an hour's drive away.
