What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 (€533/m²), the 150 m² house is completely to restore, implying roughly €165,000 in renovation and an effective cost of about €1,633/m² versus the Tuscany baseline of €678/m². Historic-center position and panoramic views add some value, but they do not offset the very high all-in cost.
More on the house and the area
The weathered brick façade, historic-center setting, and panoramic Tuscan valley view give this house genuine character. However, the 150 sqm property is explicitly described as completely to be recovered, with damp and very dated interiors, so its appeal is primarily as a renovation opportunity rather than a beautiful ready-to-live-in home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €88,000
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.
- Advertised as completely needing recovery, so this is a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in home.
- Visible damp, unfinished surfaces, and a rough storage/cellar area suggest significant building and systems work.
- No private garden is shown; the house sits on a narrow historic-center street with limited parking.
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.
