What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is explicitly an auction ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and forces a trap score. Even though the asking price is €838/m² and the home is described as habitable, auction risk overrides price comparisons.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely attractive, livable stone townhouse with Tuscan character, a porch, beams, and a small private garden opening toward countryside views. It looks habitable rather than derelict, but the interiors are modest and a bit dated, so the wow comes more from the exterior charm and setting than from a dream interior. At €57k, it has strong appeal as a real home with beauty, not just a shell.
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 – €7,000
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.
- Auction sale: due diligence on occupancy, paperwork and final costs is essential.
- Interiors look basic and somewhat dated rather than polished.
- The private outdoor area is small and simple, not a big garden.
- Bathroom is not clearly shown in the photos.
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 72/100This area sits in the inland Maremma, with rolling tuff and clay hills and cultivated countryside. The Albegna river valley is nearby, and the thermal springs of Saturnia are within this radius. Pitigliano, built on a long tuff spur, is the nearest major historic hill town of note in the area, and the wider zone is known for tuff towns, olive groves and vineyards.
