What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €408/m², the €100,000 asking price is well below the €678/m² regional baseline, but substantial interior renovation is needed despite the refurbished roof, terrace and facade. Estimated effective cost is about €1,108/m² (€271,500 total), making the discount largely disappear; condition and technical data are incomplete.
More on the house and the area
A striking ochre historic-borgo façade, traditional shutters, arched doors, exposed beams, fireplace, and a large rooftop terrace give this house genuine Tuscan character. However, the 245 sqm interior is cluttered, dark, damp-looking, and clearly requires substantial renovation despite the roof, façade, and terrace having been refurbished. The size and €408/m² pricing create project potential, but this is not a move-in-ready dream home.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€49,000 – €86,000
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.
- Substantial interior renovation and modernization are needed.
- Visible damp, peeling finishes, and heavily worn ceilings/beams require technical inspection.
- The bathroom and kitchen are extremely basic and dated.
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.
