In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At \u20ac453/m\u00b2 versus a \u20ac650/m\u00b2 baseline, this townhouse is priced ~30% below median. The 172 m\u00b2 (146 m\u00b2 main + attic/cellar) detached-on-three-sides property includes a garden (~100 m\u00b2), balcony, attic and cellar. Structure is externally sound; only interiors need renovation, so ~\u20ac500/m\u00b2 is a reasonable estimate for cosmetic/systems work. Fresh listing (1 day). Downsides: only 1 photo, no energy class, and mountain location in San Marcello Piteglio limits liquidity/demand. Still, the discount to baseline plus generous space and outdoor areas make it a solid value.
More on the house and the area
Standard mountain townhouse in Campotizzoro (Tuscan Apennines), 172sqm over two floors plus attic/cellar, free on three sides with ~100sqm garden. Low price (€453/m2) and mountain/nature setting are the main draws. However, interior needs renovation and the only visual is a floor plan—no photos of interiors, exterior, or the claimed panoramic view. Nothing here stops the scroll; a functional but unremarkable renovation project with modest bargain appeal.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €34,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
