Assuming €200/m² repair the effective price is €118,000 (≈€843/m²), about 59% above the regional median of €531/m². The property is listed as habitable with outdoor space and a garage, but the listing omits an energy class and the facts show 0 bathrooms despite the description mentioning a 'servizio igienico' (contradiction).
More on the house and the area
Solid, move-in two‑storey villa (≈140 m²) with exposed wooden beams, a veranda, small private courtyard and a wood‑oven outbuilding — a very affordable Tuscan home. Interiors are modest and a bit dated, and the auction/legal status and shared access should be checked before purchase.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 interior—cosmetic updating likely required
- Small private resede (~100 m²) with limited/no notable views
- Listing appears from a judicial/auction source—legal checks and process required
- Access via a shared driveway/paso comune
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

Pisa is the nearest city of size, with the Campo dei Miracoli and the Leaning Tower. The Monti Pisani rise to the north at roughly the edge of the 15 km radius.
