What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This 216 sqm townhouse is explicitly completely to be restored, so I used about €1,100/m² renovation; effective cost is roughly €296,600, or about €1,373/m² all-in. The ask alone is just €273/m² versus a €650/m² Tuscany townhouse baseline, which is a very strong entry discount, helped by the large size plus garden/parking.
More on the house and the area
The olive-grove setting and open Tuscan hillside views give it real rural appeal, and there are some authentic features like exposed stone, a fireplace and beam ceilings. But this is not move-in ready: the listing says completely to renovate, and the interiors look bare, tired and damp-marked rather than comfortably livable. It feels like a promising farmhouse-style project more than an immediate 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€85,000 – €126,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated
- Only one basic bathroom shown

- Power lines/poles affect the setting
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 63/100The cluster is in the Montalbano hills, a belt of olive-covered and wooded hills between the Arno plain and the Valdinievole. The Arno valley lies nearby to the south, shaping the wider lowland around Empoli. Vinci itself is known for Leonardo da Vinci, and the area is a landscape of small hill villages, farmhouses, vineyards and olive groves typical of inland north-west Tuscany. Empoli is the nearest larger town and provides rail links, hospitals, larger shops and everyday services. Florence and Pistoia are farther out and matter for work and transport, but they are outside the immediate landscape.
