Asking €65,000; with an estimated €200/m² renovation (80 m² → €16,000) effective price is €81,000 or ~€1,013/m², far above the local median of €531/m². Listing claims the house is ready to live and has 14 photos, but it has been on the market 1,020 days (stale listing).
More on the house and the area
Lovely stone village house with vaulted cellar, exterior stone stairs, a small panoramic terrace and an independent stone rustico with ~1000 m² of land — very Tuscan and photogenic. The house is habitable now but shows damp patches and dated finishes, so expect light-to-medium works to fully refresh and cure moisture issues.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Visible damp/mould and peeling paint on some ceilings/walls — cosmetic repairs needed
- Interiors are dated (old floors/fixtures) though functioning — will need modernisation
- The outbuilding/rustico appears to need renovation if you want to use it immediately
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

The nearest larger town is Aulla, which has rail access and the main services for this part of the valley; Pontremoli is the other main historic centre in the area. The area is known for Lunigiana stone villages and castles, and for routes linked to the Via Francigena.
