This is explicitly an auction listing ("asta immobiliare"), which is a hard veto for this catalog. The facts also conflict with the text: the listing says 150 sqm villa/habitable, but the description describes a 108 sqm property currently used as a restaurant, so the data is unreliable.
More on the house and the area
There is some genuine charm in the stone restaurant rooms, with rustic walls, arches and fireplace elements that feel distinctly Tuscan. But the house side looks tired and cluttered, with visible moisture damage and dated finishes, so this is not a polished dream home yet. Usable structure, yes—but it needs real work and the beauty is only partial.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- Mixed-use layout: photos show a restaurant space plus worn domestic rooms, so livability/setup is unclear.
- Visible damp, staining and cracking in bathroom/bedroom areas suggest remedial work is needed.
- Exterior is plain suburban rather than scenic or especially photogenic.
- Auction sale: details and actual property condition should be checked carefully.
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 83/100The cluster sits in the tuff country of the southern Tuscan interior, with ravines and cultivated hills around Pitigliano. The Fiora river valley is nearby. Lake Bolsena is just over the Lazio border and within about 15 km of the southern edge of this area. Pitigliano itself is a historic hill town built on a tuff spur, with a substantial old centre and the rock-cut vie cave in the surrounding countryside. Sovana is nearby, with an important medieval core and Etruscan archaeological sites in the same tuff landscape. Much of the immediate area falls within the Parco archeologico Città del Tufo. The area is known for tuff cliffs, Etruscan remains, olive groves and vineyards.
