What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listed price of €1,600 for 900 sqm (€2/sqm) is not credible for a historic Tuscan villa with 48 photos and a baseline of €530/sqm; this almost certainly reflects a placeholder price or incomplete sale terms rather than a real full-property asking price. Description lacks essential data on condition and the asset appears mixed-use (two dwellings plus large commercial/event spaces), so the apparent discount is not reliable.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely romantic Tuscan historic villa setting, with a beautiful formal entrance, long cypress-lined drive and a mature park that feels special to live in. Externally it looks substantial, maintained and fully usable rather than derelict, but the gallery barely shows the actual home interiors, so practical day-to-day livability is only partly demonstrated. The wow is very high from the grounds and historic presence, with some uncertainty because the listing reads more like an event property than a clearly presented home.
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€59,000 – €100,000
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.
- Almost no real residential interior photos, so everyday livability is not fully proven.
- Part of the property appears set up for events/commercial use rather than a straightforward private home.
- Bathrooms, kitchen and bedroom layout are not shown in the gallery.
- The ultra-low listed price likely needs clarification and may not reflect the full sale terms.
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.
