See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price €55,000 but property “da rivedere” — estimated renovation ~€700/m² → ~€52,500, so effective cost ≈€107,500 (≈€1,433/m²) vs regional median ~€660/m². Also on the market ~1,400 days, so it is a stale listing.
More on the house and the area
A compact terraced townhouse with genuine rustic character — exposed wooden beams and traditional floors give it charm. The property is essentially livable today (kitchen, bathroom and heating present) but is dated and would benefit from updating and improving light/height in some rooms. Very affordable for Tuscany and only about 10 km from the sea, so a realistic small‑home project rather than a turnkey dream.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €27,000
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.

- Needs renovation/modernisation (dated kitchen and bathroom)
- Low ceilings/exposed beams reduce headroom in parts of the house
- Small rooms and limited natural light, semi‑basement tavern is low and partly subterranean
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 (Alpi Apuane) rise immediately north of Massa; the marble-bearing karst massif and its peaks are within the local 15 km radius. The Tyrrhenian coast lies at Marina di Massa and the Versilia coastal strip extends west along the same shoreline. The Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane covers parts of the nearby mountains. The neighbouring town of Carrara and its marble quarries and extraction sites are adjacent to Massa and within the local area. Massa has a railway station on the Pisa–La Spezia line and the A12/E80 autostrada runs near the coast. The local economy and landscape include marble extraction and coastal tourism infrastructure.
