See what needs doing and what each job costs
Historic stone farmhouse with 2,500 m² land but needs a full renovation estimated at €700/m²; effective cost ≈ €126,000 or €969/m², well above the Toscana baseline of €500/m². Also been listed 245 days (stale listing), which limits the score despite the property's appeal.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic 16th-century stone farmhouse with fireplaces, original beams and wide open views plus 2,500 m² of private land. Structurally intact enough to be a realistic restoration project, but the interiors need a full renovation before it can be lived in.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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.
