What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€542/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €742/m² after assuming €200/m² for a seemingly habitable but undocumented-condition home, versus a €650/m² Montevarchi baseline. The panoramic Tuscan setting, independent entrance, terrace and 27 photos support the listing, but the missing condition and building details limit confidence.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely characterful Tuscan stone townhouse with exposed beams, terracotta floors, a huge traditional fireplace, and a beautiful green valley view from the terrace. The interiors are complete, spacious, heated, and clearly livable rather than a renovation shell, although the kitchen and bathrooms need cosmetic updating and the property shows some age. At €65,000, the combination of authentic character, usable condition, and panoramic setting is unusually compelling.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 appears usable and equipped, but the bathrooms and kitchen are dated.
- Visible wall cracking and aging exterior finishes warrant a structural and moisture check.
- It is a multi-level townhouse in a village setting, with no evident private garden or dedicated parking.
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 58/100The cluster lies in the Valdarno superiore, the Arno valley between the Pratomagno ridge and the Chianti hills. The Arno runs through this stretch of valley. The nearest larger town is Montevarchi, which has a substantial historic centre, railway station and the main services for the area; San Giovanni Valdarno and Figline are also close in the same valley. This part of the Valdarno is known for mixed farmland, olive groves and vineyards, with low wooded hills rising from the valley floor.
