What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The advertised €100,000 price applies to a 65 m² example, while the facts describe 400 m², creating a major size and pricing inconsistency. At roughly €1,350/m² after allowing €1,100/m² for restoration, it is far above the €500/m² local comparison level, and the listing does not clearly identify the exact unit being sold.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€158,000 – €234,000
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.
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 61/100The area sits in the Valdarno hills east of Florence, with wooded ridges, olive groves and cultivated slopes around the Arno valley. The Arno runs through the municipality. The nearest substantial city is Florence, which has the full range of services and major historic monuments. The Chianti hills begin not far to the west, and the wider area is known for wine, olive oil and villa estates in the Tuscan countryside.
