Listing is habitable and I estimate renovation €200/m² → renovation ≈ €30,000, so effective price ≈ €90,000 (≈ €600/m²) versus regional median €660/m² (about 9% below). The property has good positives (terrace, cellar, panoramic, station access) but has been on the market 2,014 days, so I flag it stale and cap the score.
More on the house and the area
Lovely, authentic borgo house with an intact, usable interior and a large terrace that looks out to sweeping views of the Apuan Alps — very photogenic and characterful. Structurally appears liveable now but interiors are rustic/dated and will benefit from modernization; excellent value for the price.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Cosmetic updating and some renovation likely needed inside (dated finishes).
- Very small private outdoor area (~5 m²); main outdoor asset is the panoramic terrace.
- Nearby road/highway visible in photos — possible traffic noise/visual impact that should be checked.
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.
