100,000 EUR for 110 m² with estimated 200 EUR/m² minor works → effective ~1,109 EUR/m², about 68% above the regional baseline of 660 EUR/m²; the listing has been online 1192 days (stale), so this looks overpriced despite being habitable.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful historic stone interiors and vaulted cellar give real character, and the balcony looks out to the Apuan hills/valley. The house is essentially habitable with heating and floors in place, but it’s cosmetically dated and needs small renovations to be a comfortable long‑term 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 – €12,000
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.
- Habitable but dated — bathroom and finishes will need updating.
- Terrace and external walls show wear; some minor repairs/refreshing required.
- Located on narrow borgo streets — limited parking and access.
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.
