Despite the very low €13,522 asking price for 480 m², the listing is explicitly for a judicial auction, with purchase and occupancy subject to court proceedings. The description also does not confirm bathrooms or ordinary residential sale conditions.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly characterful Tuscan stone townhouse in a photogenic historic village, with substantial size, multiple levels, fireplaces, and an intact-looking roof. However, the photos show only the exterior, which is weathered and overgrown, while the lack of confirmed bathrooms and usable interiors makes it a renovation opportunity rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
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€32,000 – €53,000
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.
- Auction property requiring legal/document review and possible occupancy checks.
- No interior photos are provided, and the listing reports zero bathrooms despite calling it habitable.
- Exterior shows overgrowth, weathered doors/windows, and likely substantial updating or renovation needs.
- Access appears to be through a narrow historic village street rather than direct car access.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Casentino, with the first ridges of the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines around it. The Arno rises in this valley and the upper Arno basin shapes the area. The Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park lies nearby on the eastern side of the valley and is one of the main protected forest areas of the northern Apennines. The nearest skiing is the small Casentino slopes around Monte Falco and Campigna, roughly an hour's drive depending on road conditions. Bibbiena is the nearest town of size in the valley, with rail access, shops and services; Arezzo is the main city used for higher-level services. The area is known for chestnut woods, forested valleys and the Romanesque parish churches scattered through the Casentino.
