What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction, which is a mandatory trap regardless of the apparent price. The estimated effective cost is about €868/m² (€62,755 plus approximately €18,800 renovation), above the €650/m² baseline.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic Tuscan townhouse with a sunny ochre facade, green shutters, stone detailing, arched openings, and a terrace—more characterful than a typical low-cost listing. The 94 sqm home is described as habitable with two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, heating, cellar, and garage, so it appears to be a real usable house rather than a renovation shell. The attractive price is tempered by the judicial-auction process and the lack of interior photos.
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 with legal and timing risks.
- The gallery shows almost no actual interior space, so the claimed habitable condition is not visually verified.
- Bathroom and utility condition should be confirmed during the technical inspection.
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 sits on the Monte Albano and Valdinievole side of central Tuscany, with low hills, olive groves and a chain of historic hill settlements rather than a single dominant natural feature. Montalbano lies within the area and gives the immediate landscape its ridges and wooded slopes. Montecatini Terme is the nearest town of size, with thermal establishments, rail connections and services. Pistoia is also close enough to matter for daily life, with a substantial historic centre and wider services. Vinci, associated with Leonardo, is nearby on the same hill system. This part of Tuscany is known for olive oil, mixed farming and spa towns.
