Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,667/m², or roughly €1,867/m² after allowing €200/m² for upkeep, this is above the local reference of €1,369/m². The half-hectare vineyard, garden, nearby river and proximity to thermal attractions add lifestyle value, but the listing does not state the property's condition or renovation needs.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric little countryside retreat set among mature woodland, with around half a hectare including a vineyard, fruit trees, and a nearby stream. The house appears roofed and genuinely usable, with a bathroom, fireplace, working-looking interiors, and a new pellet stove, though it is compact and rustic rather than move-in polished.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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 42 m² house is very small, with limited living space.
- Interiors appear usable but dated, and the property may need maintenance or modernization.
- Rural access, utilities, heating, and legal status of the outbuildings/land should be verified.
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 73/100Monte Amiata rises immediately above Castel del Piano, with chestnut woods and the upper slopes of the volcanic massif within the local area. The Monte Amiata area is protected by the Parco Faunistico del Monte Amiata. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Amiata around Prato delle Macinaie and Cantore, roughly 15–20 minutes by road depending on the access point. Arcidosso is the nearest small centre of note on the mountain, and the wider area looks toward Montalcino and the Orcia valley to the north-east, though those are outside the immediate radius. This part of Tuscany is known for chestnuts, mountain woodland and Montecucco wine on the lower slopes.
