In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
A habitable 110 m² apartment with garage, cellar, balcony and terrace, but estimated all-in cost is about €117,000 (€1,064/m²), roughly 46% above comparable local pricing. Its condition and amenities support the asking price, though the 18 km distance from the sea limits location value.
More on the house and the area
A substantial 110 sqm home in Massa Marittima with a genuinely attractive Tuscan valley view, a photogenic historic façade with large arched openings, and balconies/terrace. The interiors look furnished and usable rather than derelict, with a kitchen, bedrooms, living areas, heating, garage and cellar, though they appear dated and the poor imagery hides their true condition.
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.
- Interior photographs are very dark and low-quality, making finishes and maintenance difficult to judge.
- The listing states the apartment is habitable, but the facts show 0 bathrooms despite a bathroom photo; verify the actual layout and compliance.
- This is an apartment rather than a detached house, so outdoor space appears limited to balconies/terrace rather than private land.
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 70/100Massa Marittima is a medieval hill town with a Romanesque–Gothic cathedral (Duomo di San Cerbone) and a compact historic centre with civic palaces and towers. The town sits on the Colline Metallifere (the Metalliferous Hills): low-to-medium wooded hills and former mining sites that form the immediate landscape. The surrounding communes (for example Gavorrano and Montieri) record a mining past and scattered ex-mining areas and shafts. Land use around the town is mixed agriculture, with vineyards and olive groves typical of the Maremma. The Tyrrhenian coast and the Gulf of Follonica lie to the west and are accessible by road. No ski lifts are present in the local hills; the nearest ski area is Monte Amiata further inland. The area is part of the broader Maremma rural/coastal region, known regionally for its agricultural products and seaside tourism.
