What it really costs

€59k for 180 sqm is €328/sqm, but with a realistic renovation budget of about €850/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,178/sqm versus a €500/sqm local baseline, so this is not a cheap turnkey buy. Still, it is an entire residential building in Asciano’s historic center with roof and facade already redone, which materially lowers structural risk for a full interior rehab/investment project.
More on the house and the area
The setting has some authentic Tuscan centro storico atmosphere, and the price per square meter is strikingly low for Asciano. But the photos show a very rough interior with exposed, deteriorated timber structure and no evidence of usable finished living spaces, so this feels more like a renovation project than a home you could move into soon.
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, €850/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €63,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Interiors appear fully to be renovated before living in it.
- Only the facade and roof seem recently redone; inside condition looks rough.
- No proven views, terrace, or garden in the photos.
- Layout is split into three units, so residential reconfiguration may be needed.
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.
