A renovated 73 m² farmhouse at €39,370 (€539/m²) is reasonably priced but about 11% above comparable local stock at €487/m². The fireplace, cellar, attic and furnished kitchen add appeal in the Tuscan countryside, though the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has.
More on the house and the area
This is a picturesque old rural farmhouse surrounded by mature greenery and substantial land, with appealing traditional brick-and-stone character. However, the photos and description show an uninhabitable renovation project rather than a usable home: damaged structure, deteriorated roof, empty interiors and no bathroom. The 54% discount is attractive, but the restoration burden sharply limits the dream-home appeal.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- The building is explicitly in very poor maintenance, with wall cracks, rotten wooden beams and a deteriorated roof.
- Interiors are raw and unusable, with no functioning bathroom or kitchen shown; substantial structural renovation is likely.
- The property is isolated and requires careful checks on utilities, access, permits and restoration costs.
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

Via Francigena routes pass through Gambassi Terme and the surrounding countryside. This part of Tuscany is known for vineyards, olive groves and thermal waters.
