Asking €50,000 plus an estimated €22,600 renovation (≈€200/m²) gives an effective price of ≈€72,600 or ≈€642/m², which is above the regional median of €531/m²; also listed 207 days (stale), so it’s a charming stone house but not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
A charming stone borgo house with original cotto vaulted ceilings, stone staircase and a recently redone roof/facade — character is excellent and the 25 m² terrace is a real bonus. The interior is lived‑in but solid and immediately usable; expect cosmetic modernisation and the inconvenience of a single bathroom and higher energy costs. At €50k for 113 m² this is a genuine bargain for anyone wanting a move‑inable, characterful Lunigiana home.
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€8,000 – €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.
- Only one bathroom for a 5‑bed layout
- Energy class G (high energy consumption) reported
- Town-centre medieval location may mean limited street access/parking
- Interior finishes are dated and will need cosmetic updating
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 72/100The area is in the Lunigiana, between the northern Tuscan Apennines and the Apuan Alps. The Magra valley runs through this part of the province. The Appennino Tosco-Emiliano National Park lies to the east, with the nearest access around the Pontremoli and Zeri side rather than directly in the village. Pontremoli is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections on the Parma–La Spezia line. This part of Lunigiana is known for stone villages, chestnut country and the network of medieval settlements and castles spread across the Magra valley and its side valleys.
