More on the house and the area
This is a practical 90 sqm apartment with two bedrooms, terracotta floors, functioning radiators, decent windows, and a recently replaced boiler. However, it lacks the dream-home appeal: the kitchen is incomplete, parts of the interior show damp or worn finishes, and there is no visible view, outdoor space, or standout architectural character.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Kitchen appears stripped to exposed plumbing and wiring, so it is not fully move-in ready.
- Visible damp staining, peeling paint, and worn finishes suggest cosmetic remediation is needed.
- No garden, terrace, notable view, or distinctive historic character is shown.
- Bathroom condition is not documented in the gallery.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the Valdarno, the Arno river corridor between Florence and Arezzo, with low hills of vineyards, olive groves and mixed woodland on both sides of the valley. The Pratomagno ridge rises east of the valley within this radius and is the main mountain backdrop here. The Arno is the named river of the area. To the west, the Chianti hills begin within short range, with wine country and scattered stone hamlets. The nearest larger city is Florence, which provides the main rail connections, airports and major services, but it lies outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for wine and olive oil production and for the Valdarno setting used in the background of Leonardo da Vinci landscapes.
