What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€944/m²), the asking price is already 39% above the €678/m² baseline; assuming €700/m² for an unclear-condition property, the effective cost rises to about €1,644/m². The vague, incomplete description provides no evidence of habitability or renovation status, while the garden and parking add some value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished country house rather than a renovation shell, with a working-looking kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, heating, and a substantial fireplace. The garden and mature greenery add authentic rural charm, but the property is visually modest, dated, and lacks the dramatic views or polished character needed for a top-tier dream-home score.
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but distinctly dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Exterior walls, paving, and outbuildings show wear and deferred maintenance.
- No compelling landscape view is shown, and access/utilities are not documented.
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 55/100This is in the built-up area of Pistoia, on the plain between Monte Albano and the first slopes of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. The Ombrone Pistoiese crosses the city. Pistoia is a provincial capital with a substantial historic centre, including Piazza del Duomo and the church of San Giovanni Fuorcivitas, and it is known for its plant nurseries. The nearest mountain landscape is the Pistoiese Apennine around Abetone, with ski lifts roughly an hour's drive away, but that is outside the immediate surroundings.
