See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing explicitly states “asta immobiliare” (judicial auction), which is a veto red flag regardless of the apparent condition. At €88,801 plus an estimated €19,200 renovation cost, the effective price is about €1,125/m² versus the €530/m² baseline.
More on the house and the area
A charming Tuscan stone villa with traditional exposed masonry, wooden-beam ceilings, terracotta floors, a private garden, and mature olive trees. The interior appears finished and genuinely usable rather than a renovation shell, although it is fairly plain and the auction process adds practical risk.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- Auction purchase requires careful legal and property-document review.
- The photos show a habitable, finished interior, but bathrooms and kitchen details are not clearly shown.
- Some exterior drainage, paths, and landscaping appear to need maintenance.
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 72/100This area sits in the inland Maremma, with rolling tuff and clay hills and cultivated countryside. The Albegna river valley is nearby, and the thermal springs of Saturnia are within this radius. Pitigliano, built on a long tuff spur, is the nearest major historic hill town of note in the area, and the wider zone is known for tuff towns, olive groves and vineyards.
