Asking €360,000 (≈€3,130/m²) and estimated effective price ≈€3,330/m² after €200/m² of work — about 5× the regional median of €660/m². The house is attractive (100 m from the sea, well-kept complex, 23 photos) but the price is far above local norms and the listing does not state condition.
More on the house and the area
Clean, move-in-ready corner townhouse just steps from Marina di Massa with a private garden, balconies and parking. The apartment is well kept but plainly finished — a practical, comfortable beach home rather than a romantic historic showpiece.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Dated finishes and fittings — cosmetic refresh recommended
- Small kitchen and compact rooms compared with modern standards
- No sea views shown in the photos (property is close to the beach but not waterfront)
- Likely condominium/complex fees and close neighbours in a residential estate
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 cluster sits at the foot of the Alpi Apuane; named peaks in the range near Massa include Monte Sagro and Pania della Croce. The Tyrrhenian coast and the Versilia shoreline (Marina di Massa, beaches and a small port) are immediately adjacent. The Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane lies in the mountains to the north of the town. There are no ski lifts in the Apuan range; the nearest alpine-style ski area is in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines (Abetone), a drive of roughly 1.5–2 hours. The nearby town of Carrara is the local centre for the marble industry and quarrying and is within a few kilometres. The area is known for Carrara (white) marble extraction and for the combination of coastal beaches with steep karst mountains inland.
