Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €70,000 (282 €/m2); assuming light-to-moderate works (€200/m2 → €49,600) gives an effective cost of ~€119,600 or ~482 €/m2, slightly above the local baseline of €425/m2. Good potential as a multi-unit Tuscan borg with 22 photos and tourist appeal, but not a deep post-renovation bargain.
More on the house and the area
A charming borgo palazzo with authentic stone walls, exposed beams and pretty tiled courtyard — very photogenic and full of Tuscan character. The interiors are lived-in and intact (multiple self-contained units), so this is a usable home or a small rental project that mainly needs cosmetic updating rather than full reconstruction.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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 throughout (tiles, bathrooms, kitchens) need refreshing
- Small bathrooms and basic heating — some systems may need updating
- Village location can mean limited parking/access and no private garden
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 cluster is in the Lima valley in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, with wooded slopes and narrow side valleys around it. The Lima river runs through Bagni di Lucca, and the Serchio valley is nearby. Parts of the local area fall within the Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane to the west and the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano landscape is close to the north. The nearest ski area is Abetone, roughly an hour by road depending on the exact hamlet. Bagni di Lucca itself is a small historic spa town with bridges, villas and thermal buildings, and Lucca is the nearest substantial city with full services and rail connections. The area is known for thermal springs and for valley roads leading toward the Garfagnana and the Abetone pass.
