What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €77,000 (€856/m²), the asking price is already 26% above the Toscana country-house baseline of €678/m²; allowing €200/m² for unspecified updating brings the effective cost to about €1,056/m². The independent entrance, fireplace, and 11 photos are positives, but the missing condition data and hill-country location 20 km from the sea do not justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable Tuscan hill home with a warm fireplace living room, exposed timber beams, mezzanine bedroom, fitted kitchen, and functional bathrooms. The sweeping green-hill and agricultural landscape views are the standout feature, giving it a strong dream-home quality at €77,000, even though the décor is dated and highly personal.
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 interiors are very personalized and dated, with some cosmetic updating likely needed.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a three-bedroom layout.
- The gallery does not establish the size or privacy of any outdoor space.
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.
