At €95,000 (€540/m²), the price looks attractive before works, but the listing does not state the condition and describes a property with significant potential for personalization. Assuming roughly €700/m² in renovation, the effective cost is about €1,241/m² versus a local comparison level of €667/m²; the historic Tuscan village setting adds some appeal, but this is not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric Tuscan village palazzetto with exposed beams, a fireplace, historic stone surroundings, a planted garden, and sweeping views across the wooded valley. The main living areas are furnished, roofed, and clearly usable, with two independent apartments and kitchens, although the interiors are dated and parts of the house need cosmetic and moisture-related work.
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€35,000 – €62,000
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.
- The house is reached via steep stone pedestrian lanes and stairs, with no visible car access.
- Several rooms show dated finishes, peeling ceiling paint, and signs of damp or maintenance needs.
- The large vaulted cellar appears mainly as storage and may need renovation before becoming usable living space.
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 72/100Rolling hills of the southern Maremma with a landscape of vineyards, olive groves, small arable fields and areas of Mediterranean scrub and oak woodland. The cluster lies inside the Morellino di Scansano wine-producing zone (DOCG) and vineyards and wineries are a principal land use within the local 15 km radius. Settlement pattern is small hilltop villages and scattered farmhouses rather than continuous built-up area. There is no national or regional park within about 15 km. The nearest larger town is Manciano a few kilometres to the south, which supplies shops, banks, municipal services and regular local markets. The Tyrrhenian coast and its beaches lie beyond the local hills and are not part of the immediate landscape.
