This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a hard veto for this catalog despite the low asking price of €40,001 (€253/m²). The description also mixes residential space with shop/laboratory units, so the low price is not a normal off-market bargain for a standard livable villa.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical mixed-use building rather than a dream Italian home. It appears structurally usable and not a ruin, but the setting is harsh, the interiors are tired, and there is little beauty or character in the photos. The low price per square metre is the main appeal.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Directly next to a petrol station and busy road junction
- Mixed-use layout with shop/lab space, not a straightforward home
- Interiors look cluttered, dated and only basically habitable
- Auction sale: documentation and occupancy/status need checking
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 78/100Monte Amiata rises directly above the area, with chestnut woods and volcanic slopes around the town. The Paglia river basin lies nearby on the southeastern side of the mountain. Much of the mountain is protected in the Parco Nazionale Museo delle Miniere dell’Amiata and in the wider Monte Amiata forest area. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Amiata itself, around Prato delle Macinaie and Cantore, a short drive from town. Abbadia San Salvatore is a historic small centre on the mountain, known for the Abbey of San Salvatore and for its former cinnabar mining district. The area is known for chestnuts, woodland, and the volcanic landscape of Amiata.
