The €59,510 asking price is very low at €234/m², but a substantial renovation allowance of about €178,000 brings the estimated all-in cost to roughly €934/m², above the local comparison level of €545/m². The listing mentions a kitchen and cellar but does not say how many bathrooms there are, so the true renovation scope remains uncertain.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial stone village house with appealing historic masonry, timber details, and a charming narrow-lane setting. The fitted kitchen, floors, functioning windows, and roof suggest a real usable home rather than a ruin, but the worn interiors and wall deterioration mean meaningful renovation is needed.
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€50,000 – €89,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The interiors show significant peeling plaster and likely damp that will require renovation.
- No bathroom is listed in the facts, so essential facilities should be verified.
- The property appears to have limited outdoor space and no demonstrated scenic view.
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 55/100This cluster is in the built-up area of Arezzo, so the resident setting is an inland city on the Val di Chiana side of eastern Tuscany rather than open countryside. The Pratomagno range rises to the north-west within this area, and the upper Tiber valley and Casentino are the main surrounding valleys. The Arno basin is part of the local geography. The nearest substantial town is Arezzo itself, with a large historic centre, Roman and medieval remains, major churches and museums, and regular rail links toward Florence and Rome. The city is known for Piero della Francesca, goldsmithing and the monthly antiques fair.
