Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €571/m², the asking price is about 12% below the local €650/m² benchmark, with a strong historic-center location, terrace and garage. The listing does not state the condition, energy class or building year, so a €200/m² allowance keeps the deal attractive but not exceptional.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, lived-in townhouse in Foiano della Chiana’s historic center, with attractive old-town brick architecture, a balcony, and broad views toward the surrounding Tuscan hills. The home is clearly functional rather than a renovation shell, with a fitted kitchen, heating, bathroom and several furnished rooms, though its dated interiors limit the wow factor.
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 – €18,000
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.
- Interiors are fully furnished and appear usable, but finishes, kitchen and bathroom are dated.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 156 sqm, four-bedroom home.
- Roof/attic areas and overall structural and energy condition are not documented in the supplied facts.
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 62/100This is the Val di Chiana, a broad agricultural plain with low hills around it. The Canale Maestro della Chiana runs through the area. Lake Trasimeno is within about 15 km to the east from parts of this area, with its lakeside settlements and shore roads. Cortona is the nearest larger historic town, with a substantial old centre on the hillside above the plain. The area is known for arable farming and the Chianina cattle tradition.
