See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing, which is an automatic veto under the scoring rules. The €77,311 headline price covers a 110 m² dwelling plus separate agricultural/storage and garage structures, while the facts report 0 bathrooms despite the description mentioning a bathroom.
More on the house and the area
The wooded Tuscan setting around Sorano is attractive and private-looking, with a distinctly rural atmosphere and a low price for the stated 110 sqm home. However, the gallery is dominated by road and map images, so there is no visual proof of the villa’s interior quality, character, or actual livability. The listing describes it as habitable with a kitchen, bathroom, heating, terrace, cellar, garage, and additional agricultural buildings, but the auction process adds practical uncertainty.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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 gallery shows almost no actual views of the house, interiors, or condition.
- This is an auction property, so legal status, access, occupancy, and outstanding costs require careful verification.
- The rural location may involve limited services and potentially difficult 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 76/100The area is in the tuff country of the southern Tuscan interior, with ravines and cultivated hills around the Fiora basin. Sorano itself is one of the main tufaceous hill towns of this part of Tuscany, with a historic settlement cut into volcanic rock, and Pitigliano and Sovana are within the same local landscape. The area lies inside the Città del Tufo archaeological park system, known for Etruscan cave roads and rock-cut necropolises. Monte Amiata rises to the north-east as the main mountain mass of the wider area, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The zone is known for tuff settlements, Etruscan remains and inland Maremma countryside.
