What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €75,000 price is low at €260/m², but a full renovation estimated at €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €959/m² (€277,300 total), well above the €650/m² regional baseline. The potential for 2–3 units, garage, garden and terrace adds upside, but the scale of the works makes this an ordinary-to-weak investment rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a large end townhouse with appealing potential: three open sides, a private garden, garage, and a substantial terrace, with enough space for one to three units. However, it is currently a redevelopment project rather than a beautiful usable home, and the attractive furnished layouts are illustrative only.
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€57,000 – €101,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 69/100The cluster sits on the Monte Pisano hills between the Arno plain and the lower Serchio basin. The Arno runs nearby to the south, and the area includes olive-covered slopes, woodland and a chain of low limestone hills. The Monte Pisano area is known for medieval hill villages and olive oil. Vicopisano itself has a substantial walled historic centre and the Brunelleschi fortress. Pisa is the nearest city of size, with full services, a university and major monuments.
