Adding an estimated €22,000 (€200/m²) for works gives an effective price of €112,000 or about €1,018/m² versus the local median of ~€659/m², so this is priced significantly above typical regional comparables. The main house is habitable and ~9 km from the sea and the sale includes a second building to fully restore, which may add upside but does not close the large premium.
More on the house and the area
A small, characterful terratetto with original tiled floors and a large brick fireplace — genuinely habitable today but visibly dated. It comes with a patch of terraced land and a second building that requires full renovation, so expect cosmetic work and some structural fixes before it’s a modern move-in.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Cosmetically dated interiors and 1970s bathroom — needs updating
- Narrow, steep spiral and wooden stairs limit accessibility
- Signs of peeling plaster/damp in places; some walls need repair
- Second adjoining building included is listed as to be completely renovated (extra cost)
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 Apuan Alps rise immediately above Seravezza, with Monte Altissimo and the marble mountains of the Alta Versilia within the local landscape. The Versilia plain and the Vezza and Serra streams meet here before the short run to the coast. The Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane begins in the mountains just inland. The nearest ski lifts are the small Abetone area, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes away by road, so they are not part of the immediate setting. Pietrasanta is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services, and Viareggio and Lucca are the larger nearby urban centres for daily needs. Medicean sites at Seravezza form part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing for the Medici Villas and Gardens of Tuscany. This area is known for marble quarries, the foothills of the Apuan Alps, and the transition from mountain valleys to the Versilia coast.
