This is explicitly an auction listing ("asta immobiliare"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. It also reports building irregularities including some non-sanable difformities and part of the property is occupied under a 4+4 lease, adding legal/possession risk despite the low 575 €/m2 asking price.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely attractive brick Tuscan house with a handsome symmetrical facade, shutters, vaulted entry, exposed brick walls, beams and a big fireplace. It feels like a real lived-in home rather than a shell, with usable rooms and character intact, but it is not a polished dream house yet and practical due diligence is essential because of the auction, irregularities and occupancy issues.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- No bathroom is shown in the photos and the listing data says 0 baths, so layout/details need checking.
- Auction sale with reported building irregularities, some not sanabili.
- Part of the property appears occupied under a lease, so immediate full use may not be possible.
- Interiors look habitable but dated and somewhat dark, likely needing updating rather than just styling.
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 85/100Montepulciano sits on the ridge landscape of the Val di Chiana and close to the Val d’Orcia, with cultivated hills, cypress lines and scattered farmhouses within the surrounding countryside. The Val d’Orcia UNESCO World Heritage landscape begins just to the west around Pienza and San Quirico d’Orcia. Lake Montepulciano lies just east of town, with reed beds and the Riserva Naturale Lago di Montepulciano. The nearest larger centres are Chiusi and Chianciano Terme, while Siena is the main city in the wider area. Montepulciano itself is a substantial historic hill town with Renaissance palaces and is known for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Pienza, within the same local hill country, is UNESCO-listed for its historic centre.
