At €633/m², the asking price is about 10% below the €700/m² local benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for an apparently usable but rustic home gives an effective €833/m². The garden, pool and terrace add appeal, but the listing does not say whether the property is fully habitable or detail its age and energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric Tuscan mountain home with a rustic stone exterior, lush garden, covered terrace, and wooded hillside setting. Inside, it is a real functioning house rather than a renovation shell, with a fitted kitchen, tiled bathroom, working fireplace, finished floors, and comfortable living spaces. Its charm is traditional and lived-in rather than polished, with some exterior upkeep still needed.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- The main house appears usable, but the exterior walls, terrace canopy, and ancillary sheds need maintenance.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 150 sqm, three-bedroom home.
- The wooded mountain setting may mean more remote access and fewer nearby services.
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.
