The €37,000 asking price becomes roughly €81,000 after allowing about €44,000 for a complete renovation, or approximately €2,025/m²—far above the local €651/m² reference. The garden, panoramic setting and 14 photos add appeal, but the property is explicitly in need of full restoration.
More on the house and the area
This compact Tuscan townhouse has appealing traditional details, including terracotta floors, exposed beams, wooden shutters, a fireplace, and private garden space with a wood-fired oven. However, it is not close to move-in ready: the interiors show damp and deterioration, and the property is marketed for complete renovation, so its charm is currently more project than dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €23,000
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 listing explicitly says it needs complete renovation.
- Visible damp, damaged plaster, an outdated bathroom, and a very basic kitchen/laundry area suggest substantial work.
- The garden is overgrown, and the advertised panoramic view is not clearly shown in the gallery.
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.
