At €45,000 (€529/m²), this historic-center Tuscan townhouse is attractively priced, with a sound structure and recently renovated roof. Allowing about €200/m² for modernization brings the effective cost to roughly €765/m², above the local €650/m² reference, so it is a good lifestyle or holiday-home opportunity rather than an exceptional bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable Tuscan village house with a warm, highly characterful interior: exposed beams, wood paneling, patterned tiles and a striking traditional fireplace. It has three bedrooms, a functioning kitchen and bathroom, but the decor and fittings are dated, while the cellar level remains rustic storage rather than finished accommodation.
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€6,000 – €9,000
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 very dated and would benefit from modernization.
- The lower stone cellar/storage areas look rough and are not currently living space.
- Single-glazed wooden windows, wood heating and an electric boiler may mean limited comfort and higher upkeep.],
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 71/100The cluster sits in the Serchio valley on the edge of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, with wooded ridges and narrow side valleys immediately around it. The Lima river runs through Bagni di Lucca and joins the Serchio nearby. Part of the area falls within the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano National Park system farther up the surrounding mountains, and the Orrido di Botri canyon lies within the local mountain area. The nearest ski slopes are the small Abetone area, roughly an hour's drive depending on the exact hamlet. The nearest larger town is Lucca, with full services and major historic monuments, and the road up the valley also links toward Pistoia. Bagni di Lucca is known as a historic thermal spa area, and the valley is also known for chestnut country and mountain villages.
