In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Price €95,000 + estimated renovation €28,000 (200€/m²) = €123,000 → ≈879€/m², well above the local median of €533/m²; property is habitable, well photographed and ready to live in but has energy class G, so the effective cost is high for the area.
More on the house and the area
Sunny, habitable semi‑detached house in a quiet borgo with a pleasant terrace and open hill views and original features (brick fireplace, stone cellars). The building is liveable now and includes two independent units, cellar and garden, but the interiors are dated and one unit needs finishing. Good everyday home potential after modest updates.
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.
- Dated interiors and visible plaster/paint deterioration — cosmetic work required
- Upper/smaller apartment is partly unfinished and will need finishing works
- Old bathrooms and systems (energy class G mentioned) — possible heating/plumbing upgrades
- Exterior stairs/railings show wear and would benefit from maintenance
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 70/100The cluster sits in the Magra valley between the Ligurian Apennines and the Apuan Alps, with the lower Lunigiana hills around it. The river Magra runs through Aulla. The Parco nazionale dell'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano lies to the east within the wider mountain backdrop, and the Alpi Apuane Regional Park is nearby to the south-west around the marble mountains above Carrara. The nearest coast for daily life is the Gulf of La Spezia and the Versilia-Ligurian shore. Aulla is a small service town with rail connections and road access at the junction of routes through Lunigiana toward La Spezia, Parma and the Garfagnana. Within the surrounding area, Pontremoli and other Lunigiana centres are known for stone villages, castles and the historic route of the Via Francigena.
