See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €71,000, the estimated all-in cost is about €181,000, or €1,810/m² after substantial restoration—far above the local €555/m² reference. The listing describes the property as a ruin needing renovation and gives 100 m² in the facts versus 110 m² in the description, despite its panoramic setting and olive grove.
More on the house and the area
A photogenic old stone-and-brick ruin sits in a beautiful Tuscan hillside setting, with broad green views and an approximately 800 m² olive grove. However, this is a reconstruction project rather than a livable home: the photos show exposed masonry, overgrown ground, and partially collapsed or missing structures.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The listing explicitly describes the property as a rudere requiring major renovation.
- Interiors appear absent or collapsed, with no visible finished floors, kitchen, bathroom, or usable living space.
- Structural condition, utilities, permits, and reconstruction costs need careful verification.
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 58/100The cluster lies on the Monte Albano hills between the Valdinievole plain and the Pistoia plain. The Nievole basin and the Padule di Fucecchio wetlands are within this area. Montecatini Terme is the nearest substantial town, with thermal establishments and rail connections, and Pistoia is also close with a large historic centre and services. This part of Tuscany is known for olive groves on the lower hills, nurseries and market gardening on the plain, and spa towns in the Valdinievole.
