At €608/m² the asking price is below the local €651/m² benchmark, but allowing about €200/m² for a habitable property brings the effective cost to roughly €808/m². The listing is very brief and does not say how many bathrooms there are or provide broader condition details, so the discount is not compelling.
More on the house and the area
A bright, freshly renovated 76 sqm home with a modern kitchen, attractive flooring, stylish bathrooms, heating, and usable balconies/windows. The colorful historic streets of Scansano add charm, while the €46,200 price is compelling, but the property lacks a standout landscape view or private outdoor land.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Bathroom photos appear inconsistent: one shows an unfinished installation while another shows a completed bathroom; verify the current condition.
- The property is in a dense historic-town setting with no private garden or major panoramic view shown.
- Confirm the documented bathroom count, utilities, and final certification before purchase.
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.
