What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €679/m², the asking price is only slightly above the €650/m² Tuscan townhouse baseline; adding a provisional €200/m² for the unstated condition gives an effective cost of about €879/m². The 300 m² garden and garage add value, but missing condition, age, energy class, and only one bathroom limit confidence.
More on the house and the area
A substantial Tuscan townhouse with traditional brickwork, shutters, a tiled roof, cellar, garage, and around 300 sqm of garden/orchard land. The interiors are furnished and clearly livable rather than an empty shell, but they are very dated and show moisture, worn finishes, and limited bathroom provision. Its strongest appeal is the generous land and authentic everyday rural character, not spectacular views or polished beauty.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 one bathroom is shown/listed for a six-bedroom home.
- The house appears structurally usable but dated, with damp staining, cracked plaster, and significant cosmetic renovation needed.
- The setting is semi-rural but not a dramatic scenic location; no confirmed panoramic view.
- The cellar and utility areas are rustic and cluttered, and the outbuildings may need maintenance.
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.
