150 m2 townhouse priced €100,000; estimated works €200/m2 → effective €130,000 (≈€867/m2) vs regional median €658/m2, so it trades at a premium. Positives: ~5,000 m2 land, garage and good general condition; negatives: last km only passable by a suitable vehicle and water from cisterns.
More on the house and the area
A solid, ready-to-use two‑storey farmhouse with beautiful original character: exposed beams, brick archways and a large traditional fireplace make the main rooms extremely photogenic and liveable. Set on about 5,000 m² of terraced woodland on a high, quiet hill, it’s a real Tuscany bargain if you’re comfortable with limited utilities, a single bathroom and some cosmetic updating.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Last ~1 km up a rough, steep track — a 4x4 or suitable vehicle recommended
- Water from cisterns and no mains gas; check full utility connections
- Only one bathroom and kitchen areas need updating / modernization
- Remote, very quiet location — not for those wanting immediate services
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 is in the built-up area of Lucca, so the lived setting is the city and its immediate plain rather than open countryside. The Apuan Alps rise to the north-west within this radius, and Monte Pisano forms the hill ridge to the south. The Serchio river runs through Lucca and the plain around it. The historic centre of Lucca is enclosed by intact Renaissance walls and is the main feature of the immediate area, with churches, towers, piazzas and full city services. Pisa is the nearest larger city in daily reach, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of Tuscany is known for its walled city, the Lucchesia plain, olive slopes on Monte Pisano, and access toward the Versilia coast.
