What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the asking price is only €468/m², the description says the house needs recovery; estimating €1,100/m² puts the effective cost near €1,568/m² (€97,200 total), versus a €678/m² baseline. The 22 photos help, but condition, year, and energy data are missing, and the renovation burden makes this weak value.
More on the house and the area
A modest but genuinely livable Tuscan country house with traditional shutters, terracotta floors, a fireplace and a small green frontage, offered at a very low price. It has real character and basic facilities, but the extensive cracks, dated condition and visible maintenance issues make it a renovation project rather than a ready-made dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €36,000
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.
- Extensive cracking is visible throughout the exterior and interiors; structural assessment is essential.
- The house appears usable, with a kitchen, bathroom, heating and tiled floors, but it needs significant renovation and clearing out.
- The old roof and signs of damp/weathering should be professionally checked.
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.
