What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €756/m², the asking price is already 16% above the Toscana townhouse baseline of €650/m²; assuming €700/m² renovation, the effective cost rises to about €1,456/m². The listing gives no condition, construction year, or energy data, so the renovation risk is substantial despite the terrace and parking.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely charming Tuscan village house with a photogenic stone-and-ochre exterior, covered terrace, fireplace, arched doorway, wooden ceiling and traditional terracotta floors. It is a real, roofed and usable home rather than a shell, though the kitchen and bathroom are dated and some cosmetic/exterior work will be needed.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €32,000
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 kitchen appears unfinished or lacks fitted appliances and cabinetry.
- The bathroom is functional but very dated and may need updating.
- Visible exterior plaster, shutters, drainage and terrace elements show maintenance needs; only one bathroom is listed for seven bedrooms.
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 76/100The cluster is in the Apuan Alps, with steep limestone mountains and narrow valleys immediately around it. The Serchio valley is the main valley system of this part of inland Lucca. The area falls within the Alpi Apuane Regional Park. The nearest ski lifts are on the small local fields of Careggine and Casone di Profecchia in Garfagnana, roughly an hour or more by road depending on the hamlet. Castelnuovo di Garfagnana is the nearest town of some size, with shops, services and a rail link down the Serchio valley toward Lucca. Barga, within this part of the valley, is known for its historic hill town and is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. This area is known for mountain walking, caves and karst landscapes, and for villages set in the Garfagnana and upper Serchio valleys between the Apuan and Apennine massifs.
