At €345/m², this habitable 114 m² apartment is priced well below the €730/m² local benchmark; allowing about €22,800 for light work gives an effective cost near €545/m². Garage, cellar, balcony, terrace, heating and strong photo coverage make it an unusually attractive Tuscan value.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old rural home surrounded by mature trees and generous green space, with an appealing Tuscan countryside feel. However, the gallery mainly shows neglected agricultural/storage areas and worn interiors rather than a ready-to-live-in house, so it looks more like a renovation opportunity than a dream home today.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 appear very dated, dark, and poorly maintained despite the listing calling it habitable.
- No clearly usable kitchen or bathroom is shown; verify utilities, systems, and actual living conditions.
- The heavily overgrown grounds and rural access may require substantial clearing and maintenance.
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.
