€90,000 plus an estimated €311/m² renovation (~€56k total) gives an effective price of about €811/m², well above the regional median of €531/m² so this looks overpriced; the property has been listed 1335 days (stale_listing) and the ad omits the energy class.
More on the house and the area
Plans and description show a terraced independent villa with panoramic outlook, large portico/veranda and substantial cellar space — a characterful site near the sea. However the house needs full renovation, so it’s a bargain project rather than an immediately habitable dream home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €311/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€18,000 – €31,000
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.

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 rise directly behind Carrara, with steep marble mountains visible from the urban area and the quarry landscape beginning immediately above the town. The Carrione river runs through the city toward the Ligurian Sea coast. The Parco naturale regionale delle Alpi Apuane lies within the local mountain area. The nearest beaches are on the coast at Marina di Carrara. Carrara is itself a city of size with services, a port area nearby, and a long historic link to marble extraction and stone working. The area is known nationally for the marble quarries of Carrara.
