What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Entire 180 sqm residential building in Asciano’s historic center offered at €59,000 (€328/sqm), versus a low-stock baseline of €500/sqm. But the text says all three flats are completely to be renovated, so the effective cost is about €1,428/sqm including ~€1,100/sqm works; still interesting for a central multi-unit asset, though not a screaming discount once renovation is included.
More on the house and the area
This is a sizeable historic building in the old centre, and the price per square metre is strikingly low for Tuscany. But the photos show a project rather than a home: raw, worn interiors and damaged timber structure mean it is not realistically move-in ready. The exterior is plain and there are no views or standout lifestyle spaces visible.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€71,000 – €105,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated, with visibly deteriorated timber ceilings.
- No finished/usable interiors shown, so current livability looks very low.
- Likely substantial work needed across multiple units, not a simple refresh.
- Street setting is tight and not especially scenic from the photos.
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 77/100The area sits in the Crete Senesi, with clay hills, cultivated ridges and badland formations around Asciano and Rapolano. The Ombrone basin is nearby, and the Siena hills continue west toward the city. Siena is the nearest city of size, with a full historic centre and major services. This part of southern Tuscany is known for thermal baths, olive groves and grain fields.
