I estimate renovation at €600/m², giving an effective price of €133,600 or about €1,021/m² versus the regional median of €659/m² — well above comparable post-renovation values. The roof has been redone and there are many photos, but the property has been listed 337 days (stale_listing) and needs substantial work.
More on the house and the area
Tall stone townhouse with exposed beams, a recently redone roof and authentic Tuscan-borgo character perched above a mossy valley — lovely views and very photogenic. Structurally appears sound but the interior needs comprehensive renovation and access is via steep narrow steps.
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, €600/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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Requires full interior renovation (kitchen, bathrooms, floors, finishes).
- Access is on steep, narrow steps and alleys — limited vehicle access and carrying materials will be harder.
- Visible moss/damp on external walls and stairs — check waterproofing, drainage and insulation.
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 55/100The Apuan Alps (Alpi Apuane) rise immediately north of Massa; the marble-bearing karst massif and its peaks are within the local 15 km radius. The Tyrrhenian coast lies at Marina di Massa and the Versilia coastal strip extends west along the same shoreline. The Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane covers parts of the nearby mountains. The neighbouring town of Carrara and its marble quarries and extraction sites are adjacent to Massa and within the local area. Massa has a railway station on the Pisa–La Spezia line and the A12/E80 autostrada runs near the coast. The local economy and landscape include marble extraction and coastal tourism infrastructure.
