See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 for 40 m² (€1,750/m²), this is priced well above comparable sub-€100k homes in the area; even assuming it is habitable, the estimated all-in cost is about €1,950/m². The listing does not state the renovation condition or energy class, so the premium is not well supported.
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€3,000 – €4,000
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 lies in the Valdisieve, with the first ridges of the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines close by and wooded hills rising around the Sieve valley. The Sieve river runs through Rufina. The Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park begins farther north in the upper mountain area, outside the immediate surroundings. Florence is the nearest large city, with full services and rail links. The area is known for Chianti Rufina vineyards and olive-growing.
