More on the house and the area
Large, usable multi‑level village house with real mountain/valley views and a glazed terrace plus a small plot. Habitable now but visibly dated inside and on the exterior — an affordable, characterful home ready for light-to-medium updating and ideal for splitting into two rental units.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- Dated interiors and bathrooms — cosmetic updating and new finishes likely needed
- Narrow village access and external steps — consider logistics for moving/parking
- Exterior plaster/glazed balcony show wear and may need repairs
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 73/100The Apuan Alps are within the local landscape around Fivizzano, and the Lunigiana here is a mountain and foothill area rather than a plain. The Rosaro and the wider Tuscan-Emilian Apennine terrain are close by, with chestnut woods, narrow valleys and stone villages typical of inland northern Tuscany. The Magra basin shapes the area, with the valley routes leading toward Aulla. The Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano lies nearby to the east, and the Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane is nearby to the southwest. The nearest ski area is Cerreto Laghi in the Apennines, roughly about an hour's drive depending on the exact hamlet. Aulla is the nearest town of size with rail links, services and motorway access. Fivizzano is known as one of the historic centres of Lunigiana, an area known for castles, old hill settlements and routes between Tuscany, Liguria and Emilia.
