What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €943/m² and an estimated €200/m² habitable-property allowance, the effective cost is about €1,143/m² versus the €650/m² Toscana townhouse baseline, making it roughly 76% above comparable stock. Its good condition, independent entrance, heating, and position near Cetona’s Piazza Garibaldi support the price, but do not fully offset the premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable and warmly furnished Tuscan townhouse, with excellent exposed beams, terracotta floors, a traditional fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen. The historic interior has real character rather than staged rustic decor, though the attic bedroom and rough cellar reduce practicality and there is no proven outdoor space or view.
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 – €10,000
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 upper sleeping area appears to be a low-ceiling attic with limited headroom.
- A cellar/storage area is visibly rough and cluttered.
- No exterior, garden, terrace, or scenic view is shown; only one bathroom is listed.
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.
