At €89,000, the estimated all-in cost is about €1,618/m² after allowing €700/m² for partial renovation, compared with roughly €695/m² for similar homes in the area. The roof was renewed in 2010 and the house has a garden, cellar and four bedrooms, but the rural location, energy class G and substantial unfinished work weaken the value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable Tuscan village-country house with a characterful stone setting, terracotta roof, fireplace, balcony, enclosed garden, and an additional nearby plot. The main living areas are furnished and functional, but the interiors are dated and the property is clearly only partially renovated rather than move-in polished.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €39,000
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 property is explicitly partially in need of renovation, with a very basic kitchen and bathroom.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a 110 sqm, four-bedroom house.
- The cellar and utility areas are rustic and may need upgrading; energy class G suggests inefficient heating.
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 lies in the Casentino, the upper Arno valley, with the first ridges of the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines close by. The Arno runs through Subbiano. The Casentino Forests National Park begins a short distance to the northeast, covering the Apennine ridge with extensive beech and fir woods. The nearest substantial town is Arezzo, which has a full range of services and a major historic centre. The area is known for wooded valley scenery, small castles and parish churches of the Casentino, and for routes up toward the Passo della Consuma and the Camaldoli and La Verna side of the Apennines.
