Asking €65,000 for 100 m² (€650/m²) but estimated minor works ~€20k (≈€200/m²) push effective cost to ≈€85,000 (≈€850/m²), well above the local median of €531/m². The listing has been on market 495 days (stale), and key technical data like energy class and year of construction are not provided.
More on the house and the area
Charming stone house with green shutters, a long terrace and private garden — very photogenic exterior and classic historic character. Inside is immediately habitable but dated, so it’s a comfortable live-in with straightforward cosmetic work to make it a true dream 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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Terrace and garden are overgrown and need clearing/repair.
- Interiors are dated and need cosmetic refreshing (kitchen, flooring, paint).
- Visible wall staining in rooms — check for damp/maintenance and verify plumbing/heating.
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 cluster is in Lunigiana on the northern Tuscan Apennine side, with the Apuan Alps close by to the west and the Apennine ridges toward the east. The Rosaro and wider Magra valley system shapes this area, and the slopes around Fivizzano are a mix of wooded hills, stone villages and small agricultural terraces. The Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano lies nearby on the eastern side of the municipal area, and the Apuan Alps Regional Park is also close within the wider 15 km setting. Cerreto Laghi is the nearest established ski area, roughly an hour or a little more by road depending on the exact hamlet. Fivizzano itself is a small historic centre with everyday services, and Aulla is the nearest larger road and rail hub in Lunigiana. The area is known for Lunigiana’s hill villages, chestnut country and the chain of castles spread across the wider valleys, with the Medicean centre of Fivizzano and nearby Equi Terme among the local reference points.
