What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 for 70 m², the listed price is €1,143/m²; allowing €200/m² for an unspecified condition gives an effective cost of about €1,343/m², nearly double the Toscana baseline of €678/m². The panoramic view and cellar add some value, but the condition is missing and only 3 photos are provided.
More on the house and the area
A highly characterful Tuscan borgo setting, with handsome exposed-brick façades, arched openings and traditional stone-paved streets. The 70 sqm apartment has a practical two-bedroom layout, kitchen and bathroom, suggesting a real home rather than a shell, but the lack of interior images makes livability and renovation needs uncertain.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Only exterior photos are provided, so the interior condition and finish quality are unclear.
- The historic brick apartment appears integrated into a steep, narrow village street, with no private outdoor space shown.
- The advertised panoramic view is not visible in the photos and should be verified.
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 63/100The cluster sits in the Valdichiana Senese, with cultivated hills, arable fields and olive groves between Montepulciano, Sinalunga and the first rises toward the Crete Senesi. The nearest substantial towns are Montepulciano and Sinalunga, with day-to-day services, stations on the local rail line in the valley, and historic centres on the hilltops. Montepulciano, within this radius, is a walled hill town known for Renaissance buildings and Vino Nobile. Pienza and the Val d’Orcia UNESCO landscape are nearby but outside the immediate 15 km landscape from Torrita di Siena. The area is known for wine, olive oil and mixed farming.
