At €91,290 plus an estimated €16,600 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €1,300/m² versus a local comparison level of €730/m². Heating, a garage and cellar add usefulness, but the listing does not say how many bathrooms or provide building and energy details.
More on the house and the area
A bright, spacious 83 sqm apartment with attractive contemporary finishes, wood-look flooring, a modern kitchen, and an impressive finished bathroom. It is a practical, potentially move-in-ready home with garage, cellar, heating, and a relatively low price, but the surrounding building is visually plain and urban rather than distinctly Tuscan.
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€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- One bathroom appears unfinished, with fixtures still to be installed.
- The apartment is in a dense, aging concrete apartment complex with little exterior appeal or privacy.
- The listing states habitable, but the photos suggest some final renovation or completion work may remain.
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 50/100No significant mountains within about 15 km; the town sits on the coastal plain of the Tuscan Maremma. The Ombrone river runs through the plain just south of the urban area and reaches the Tyrrhenian a few kilometres further west. The Tyrrhenian coast (Marina di Grosseto / Principina a Mare and other beaches) is roughly 12 km from the town. The Parco Naturale della Maremma is a protected coastal area and hill system on the Maremma coast to the south‑west of Grosseto. There are no ski lifts within the 15 km radius. Grosseto is the provincial capital: it has a historic centre with Medici-era walls, a railway station on the coastal (Tirrenica) line, and regional administrative and medical services. The surrounding landscape is the flat, agricultural Maremma plain with olive groves, vineyards, and coastal pinewoods; the area has a history of land reclamation and cattle farming.
