See what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable and well-equipped with a garage, heating and panoramic/sea views, but the €79,000 asking price is already €752/m²; allowing roughly €21,000 for normal habitable-property work brings the effective cost near €952/m² versus about €350/m² for comparable local homes. The views add some value, but not enough to offset the substantial premium.
More on the house and the area
The house has genuine Tuscan character, including exposed timber-and-terracotta ceilings, old shutters, tiled roofs, and a striking sea view toward a historic tower. It appears structurally solid and habitable rather than a shell, but the interiors need substantial decluttering, cosmetic renovation, and likely completion of some works before feeling like a finished home.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Interiors are cluttered and visibly mid-renovation, with rough plaster and unfinished window work.
- No kitchen is shown, so full move-in readiness is not independently confirmed.
- The sea view is attractive but appears to be a rooftop/upper-window glimpse rather than an open private panorama.],
- findings:
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.
