See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 (€824/m²), the house needs substantial renovation including the floors and heating; adding an estimated €68,000 renovation cost brings the effective price to about €1,624/m² versus a €650/m² local benchmark. The listing does not say when the building was constructed or provide an energy rating, and its inland location offers no clear coastal premium.
More on the house and the area
A handsome stone townhouse with strong historic character, traditional shutters, old fireplace details, vaulted cellar spaces, and a genuinely beautiful Tuscan valley-and-hills view. It is a real 85 m² house with roof and façade already renovated, but the interiors are dated and worn, with ceiling damage and significant renovation needed before comfortable full-time living.
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, €800/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €30,000
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.

The area around
Location score 72/100Trequanda sits on the cultivated hills between the Val d'Orcia and the Val di Chiana in southern Siena province. The 15 km radius is primarily agricultural: vineyards, olive groves and mixed arable land on rolling hills. Montepulciano is about 10 km to the east and is the nearest town of size, with a medieval centre, restaurants, shops and the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano wine appellation. Pienza and parts of the Val d'Orcia landscape lie to the south-west within roughly 15 km. Chianciano Terme, a thermal spa town with tourist facilities, is also within the local area. There are no high mountains or ski lifts within 15 km; the nearest larger city is Siena (roughly 35–40 km north-west) for provincial services and rail connections.
