See what needs doing and what each job costs
Property is sold in an auction (asta) at €25,070 and the description states a 'stato conservativo scadente' despite the 'Renovated' tag; I estimate €700/m² renovation (≈€867/m² effective) which is well above the regional median €531/m², so the auction status and contradictory condition make this a trap.
More on the house and the area
Charming rural stone house with original wooden beams and cellar spaces — clear historic character but visibly run-down. Interiors are intact (floors/beams present) yet the property lacks utilities (water/sewer/heating) and needs substantial renovation; excellent low‑price bargain for a restoration project.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- Poor overall condition — needs ordinary and extraordinary maintenance
- No heating and not connected to public water or sewers; electrical system not to current standard
- Not accessible by car (access via vicinal/sentiero; road ~1.5 km)
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 74/100The area sits in the Serchio valley with the Apuan Alps close to the west and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines to the east. The Serchio river runs through this part of the valley. Much of the surrounding mountain area falls within the Parco naturale regionale delle Alpi Apuane. The nearest ski area is Abetone, roughly 1 to 1.5 hours by road depending on the exact hamlet. Castelnuovo di Garfagnana is the nearest town of some size, with rail services, shops and everyday services, and Lucca is the main city used for higher-order services. Coreglia Antelminelli is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. This part of the middle Garfagnana is known for wooded mountain slopes, stone villages and the long-standing plaster-figurine tradition associated with Coreglia.
