250 m² house offered at €85,000 with an estimated €200/m² renovation (€50,000) gives an effective price of €135,000 → €540/m², about 18% below the regional median of €659/m². Strong size/position for conversion to a B&B or family home, but the property has been listed 336 days (stale_listing).
More on the house and the area
A very charming, stone-built medieval borgo house with vaulted passages and two sizeable terraces that offer real valley/mountain views. The property is lived-in and structurally usable but the rooms are dated and the lower-level cantine are rustic — reasonable updating will turn this into a gorgeous family home or holiday/B&B.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- Interiors are dated (1980s) and will benefit from modernization.
- Ground-floor vaulted cellars are rustic and may need refurbishment/damp-proofing before reuse.
- Access is through narrow medieval lanes — limited car access/parking.
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 62/100The cluster sits in the lower Lunigiana, with the northern Tuscan Apennine ridges close by and the Magra valley as the main landscape feature. The Magra river runs through this part of the province, and the valley is broken by wooded slopes and small hill settlements. The A15 corridor and Pontremolese route pass through the wider valley, so daily life is tied to the plain around Aulla, which is the nearest town of size with rail links, services and supermarkets. The nearest Ligurian coast is around La Spezia and Marinella di Sarzana, but the sea is outside the 15 km landscape radius and does not set the score. Lunigiana is known for scattered stone villages and castles, and Tresana itself has a castle on its hill.
