At €58,000 (€1,160/m²), this townhouse is priced well above the local €663/m² benchmark, even allowing for only modest works. The independent entrance, parking, terrace potential and no condominium fees help, but the listing does not state the condition or renovation needs.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable Tuscan townhouse rather than a renovation shell, with a fitted kitchen, bathroom, tiled floors, heating and a pleasant exposed-beam ceiling. Its traditional shutters, independent entrance and small-town character are appealing, but the setting is ordinary and the worn exterior and compact size keep it well below dream-home territory.
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 – €5,000
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.
- Exterior plaster is visibly peeling and interior walls show damp or wear requiring refreshment.
- Only about 50 sqm with a compact layout and one bathroom.
- Energy class G; the adjacent 21 sqm parking area is not clearly a true private garden or terrace.
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 57/100The cluster lies by the Arno plain at the edge of the Padule di Fucecchio, the large inland marsh between the lower Valdarno and Valdinievole. The Padule di Fucecchio has a protected natural area with wetlands, canals and birdlife. The Arno runs nearby. Within the local area the nearest larger towns are Empoli and San Miniato, with rail services, shops and everyday services; Pisa and Florence are farther out and matter more for work and transport than for the immediate landscape. The area is known for wetland reclamation history and for Tuscany's leather district around Santa Croce sull'Arno.
