This is an auction listing for an agricultural hayloft used for tool storage, not a legally presented dwelling, so it is unsuitable as a home despite the €4,500 headline price. The advertised 545 m² is estimated from similar properties rather than official records, and the images are explicitly indicative rather than real.
More on the house and the area
The surrounding Tuscan countryside looks attractive, with farmland, vineyards and olive groves, but the images do not prove that these landscapes belong to the property. The actual asset appears to be a basic agricultural hayloft rather than a beautiful, usable home, so it offers little evidence of a liveable dream-house opportunity.
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€36,000 – €61,000
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.
- The listing explicitly says the images are illustrative and not photos of the actual property.
- This is an agricultural hayloft/tool-storage building, not a confirmed dwelling; it has 0 bedrooms and 0 bathrooms.
- The advertised 545 sqm is only an estimate based on comparable properties and may be inaccurate.
- Auction purchase and likely agricultural-use restrictions require careful review of the official appraisal and legal status.
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 72/100The Tuscan-Romagnol Apennines surround the area, with wooded ridges and narrow valleys along the upper Senio valley. Much of the immediate landscape falls in or beside the Parco nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna area to the east and south-east. The nearest ski lifts are the small stations on Monte Carpegna and around the Campigna/Cimone side of the Apennines, generally over an hour’s drive, so skiing is not part of the immediate setting. Borgo San Lorenzo and Faenza are the nearest larger towns used for services, rail links and supermarkets. Palazzuolo sul Senio is included among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. This part of the Apennines is known for chestnut woods, hiking, and old road links across the mountain spine between Tuscany and Romagna.
