What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €520/m² the asking price is below the Toscana baseline of €678/m², but the property is completely to renovate; estimated works of about €850/m² bring the effective cost to roughly €1,370/m² (€102,750 total), well above the baseline. The roof and façades have been revised, but condition and key technical data are missing.
More on the house and the area
A handsome old Tuscan stone farmhouse with strong historic character, wooded surroundings and a genuinely beautiful mountain panorama. However, the interior is a substantial renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home, with rough cellar spaces, deteriorated finishes and outdated kitchen and bedroom areas.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €850/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €27,000
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.
- Completely renovation-dependent, despite the roof and facades having been repaired.
- Interiors show severe age, damp/decay, outdated services and unfinished utility spaces.
- More than 3 hectares are divided into separate parcels, and the shared courtyard limits privacy.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Arezzo, so the immediate setting is an urban district rather than open countryside. The area lies in the Val di Chiana and close to the upper Arno basin, with cultivated plains and low hills around the city. The nearest mountain landscape is the Casentino side of the Apennines farther north, but that is outside the immediate 15 km setting. Arezzo is a provincial capital with a substantial historic centre, churches, museums, rail connections and full services. The city is known for Piero della Francesca frescoes, antiques and goldsmith work.
