See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the asking price is €500/m² based on 110 m², the home needs substantial renovation, has no heating, and the description gives only 80 m², creating a material size contradiction. With roughly €1,000/m² of work, the effective cost is about €1,500/m², well above the €651/m² local comparison level.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine Tuscan country home with 800 sqm of garden, rural surroundings and glimpses of rolling hills, plus some old-house character in the shutters, terrazzo floors and exposed brick cellar. The upper floor appears usable with a fitted kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom, but the property needs real renovation, has no heating, and the ground floor remains a rough cellar rather than finished living space.
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, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €39,000
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.
- Significant renovation is needed, including peeling finishes and damp-looking cellar walls.
- There is no heating system.
- The three storage buildings and corrugated roofs appear utilitarian and weathered.
- The ground-floor cellar is not currently a finished 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 61/100The area sits in the lower Valdarno hills between the Arno plain and the first inland ridges, with mixed farmland, olive groves and vineyards around small Tuscan villages. The Arno runs nearby to the north. Cerreto Guidi has the Medici Villa of Cerreto Guidi, part of the UNESCO serial site of the Medici Villas and Gardens in Tuscany. Empoli is the nearest larger town and provides the main rail services, shops and hospitals for the area. This part of Tuscany is known for olive oil, wine and dispersed hill villages rather than for a single dominant natural feature within the immediate surroundings.
