Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 (€1,293/m²), this charming 58 m² country house is priced well above the local €700/m² reference even after assuming only light work, for an effective cost of about €1,493/m². The Cortona setting and terrace add appeal, but the listing does not say enough about condition, energy performance, or legal readiness to justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable Tuscan village home with a wonderful stone terrace overlooking wooded hills, in the shadow of a dramatic historic castle. The interiors are practical and maintained, including a fitted kitchen, bathroom, heating and furnished bedroom, though they lack standout character and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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 home is compact at 58 sqm, with only one bedroom.
- Interiors are clean and usable but plainly furnished and somewhat dated.
- The hillside village setting appears to involve steps and uneven 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.

Lake Trasimeno is within about 15 km to the east-southeast. Cortona is the nearest substantial town; it has a walled historic centre on the hillside, major churches and museums, and Etruscan remains. The area is known for olive groves and vineyards on the slopes and arable farming on the plain.
