What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €780/m², the €39,000 asking price is already above the €650/m² Toscana townhouse baseline; adding an estimated €10,000 for habitable-condition updates gives an effective €980/m². The good condition, cellar, 40 m² courtyard and 22 photos support the listing, but its inland hill location and premium over baseline limit the deal value.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable little Tuscan stone townhouse with a highly photogenic facade, traditional shutters, stone stairs, and a usable paved courtyard. The interiors are simple and dated rather than spectacular, but the house has proper floors, kitchen, bathroom, heating, furnishings, cellar, and storage—making it a real low-cost home rather than a renovation shell. At €39,000, its historic borgo character and livability create strong dream-home appeal.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Only 50 sqm with one bedroom and one bathroom.
- Energy class G and dated kitchen/bathroom may need future updating.
- No broad scenic view is shown; access is through a compact historic village setting.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Serchio valley on the edge of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, with wooded ridges and narrow side valleys around Bagni di Lucca. The Lima river runs through the area and joins the Serchio nearby. The landscape is part of the mountain and valley belt that leads up toward the Apennine passes rather than the open Lucchesia plain. The nearest ski area is Abetone, roughly an hour’s drive depending on the exact hamlet. Bagni di Lucca is the nearest small centre with thermal-bath history, while Lucca is the nearest city of size with full services and major monuments. The area is known for spa history, chestnut and forest country, and road access up the Lima valley toward the Apennine border.
