This is explicitly an auction listing ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE'), which is a hard veto for this catalog regardless of the low asking price. The ad also describes 'immobili rurali e terreni', adding uncertainty about the exact residential nature of what is being sold.
More on the house and the area
A very appealing little Tuscan stone house in a leafy rural setting, with real charm from the stone walls, arched doorway, beams and fireplace. It looks like a genuine habitable home rather than a shell, though the interiors are modest and a bit dated, so this feels more rustic-usable than turnkey dream finish. At this price, the character and setting create strong wow for someone who wants an actual live-in country hideaway.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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: documentation and occupancy status need checking.
- Interiors look basic and somewhat dated rather than polished.
- Bathroom is not shown and the listing reports 0 baths, so layout/details are unclear.
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 82/100This is the tuff country of southern Tuscany, with ravines cut into volcanic rock and a chain of hill towns that includes Sorano, Sovana and Pitigliano within about 15 km. The area lies in the inland part of the Maremma and close to the edge of the Monte Amiata volcanic massif, which rises to the north-east beyond the immediate cluster. The Fiora river valley is nearby, and the area is known for the Vie Cave, the Etruscan sunken roads cut into the tuff around Sorano and Sovana. Sovana has a Romanesque cathedral and an important Etruscan necropolis, and the archaeological area includes the Tomba Ildebranda. Pitigliano is the nearest larger hill town and is built on a long tuff spur above deep ravines. The area is known for Etruscan archaeology, tuff settlements and white wine production around Pitigliano and Sovana.
