Rustico/casale in Località Corano
Per chi ama la natura, i paesaggi, le fotografie e le atmosfere sospese, Pitigliano è una delle mete più suggestive d'Italia. arroccato sul tufo, il paese sembra costruito per stupire. Affascinanti sono anche le campagne intorno, ricamate da uliveti e vigneti, querce spontanee e tanto verde. in una parte di campagna non lontana dal borgo, vendiamo un' immobile composto da...
What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 80 sqm, the ask is €938/sqm; assuming a renovation-level cost of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is about €1,638/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €509/sqm, so it does not screen as cheap. Pitigliano/Tuscany and the land appeal help, but the description is vague and key livability data are missing (condition, baths/energy class), so this looks more like a lifestyle listing than a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
The wooded Tuscan setting is peaceful and atmospheric, with mature trees, countryside land and a secluded feel near Pitigliano. But the house itself looks very plain and minimally finished, with photos showing mostly exterior and storage/garage areas rather than a usable home. It feels more like a rustic project with land than a ready dream house.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- Very basic condition and likely not fully habitable as shown
- No bathroom is listed
- Interiors shown are mostly garage/storage rather than living space
- Rural access and utilities 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 82/100Pitigliano stands on the southern edge of the volcanic tuff country of the Tufo area, with ravines cut into the plateau and a landscape of woods, fields and small hill settlements. Lake Bolsena lies just to the east, partly within 15 km of the cluster. The Fiora river valley is part of the local landscape. The area includes the Parco Archeologico Città del Tufo around Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano. Pitigliano itself is a substantial historic hill town with extensive tuff-built fabric and services for the surrounding countryside. Sovana, within the same local area, is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The area is known for tuff settlements, Etruscan vie cave cut into the rock, and white wine production around Pitigliano.
