This is an auction listing and the text explicitly describes the unit as a magazzino/cascina, so it likely cannot be legally used as a dwelling. Price €33,000 (~€311/m² vs regional median €531/m²) is irrelevant if conversion/usage is not permitted.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable 1980s villa with a large sunny terrace, garage/cellar and parking — the interior is lived-in and move-in ready with a modern kitchen. It’s not a scenic or historic dream house, but it’s a genuine, affordable home that needs only cosmetic updating and careful auction/legal checks.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€42,000 – €62,000
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.
- Listed for auction — verify legal/title and occupancy before bidding

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 53/100The area is the lower Arno plain between the Monte Pisano hills to the west and the Cerbaie hills to the east, with the Arno and its reclaimed flat farmland shaping the landscape. The Padule di Fucecchio wetland lies within reach to the east, a protected marsh area of canals, reeds and bird habitat. San Miniato is the nearest town of note, with a substantial historic centre on a hill above the plain. The area is known for leather tanning and for agriculture on the Arno plain.
