More on the house and the area
Perched in a classic Tuscan borgo with sweeping valley and mountain views from balconies, this is a large, characterful terraced house with stone surroundings and a working fireplace. The interior is habitable and well preserved though a bit dated — perfect to move into and refresh rather than gut‑renovate, but note the single bathroom and limited direct vehicle access.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- Dated kitchen/finishes — cosmetic updating advised
- Only one bathroom for a 3‑bed home
- Borgo is pedestrian: no direct car access (public parking nearby)
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 82/100The area lies in the Garfagnana, between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. The Serchio river runs through the valley. The Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane is nearby. The nearest ski area is Careggine in the Garfagnana, roughly a 30-minute drive depending on the exact hamlet. Castelnuovo di Garfagnana is the main town of the valley and has schools, shops, a hospital, rail service and the Rocca Ariostesca in its historic centre. The wider area is known for mountain valleys, chestnut country and access toward the Apuan ridges.
