What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €990/m², estimated effective cost is about €1,198/m² after €200/m² of assumed work, versus a €650/m² Toscana townhouse baseline. The four-level layout and Tuscan features add appeal, but the condition and legal/technical status are not stated, so the premium is not justified by the available data.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric Tuscan townhouse with excellent historic character: exposed beams, terracotta floors, patterned tile, arched openings, and a substantial fireplace. It appears genuinely usable and furnished, with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating, and generous living spaces, though some damp-related plaster deterioration and dated finishes need attention. The cobbled historic-center setting and €95,000 price add real appeal, even without a private garden or panoramic view.
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 – €11,000
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.
- Visible damp/peeling plaster in parts of the interior suggests some maintenance may be needed.
- The townhouse is arranged over four levels, with multiple stair flights and a narrow bathroom.
- No private outdoor space or broad scenic view is shown.
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 70/100Monte Cetona (summit about 1,148 m) rises immediately to the south of the town and is within 15 km. The town sits on the northern edge of the Valdichiana plain. Chiusi (about 8 km) is the nearest town of size and has a railway station on the Florence–Rome line and a National Archaeological Museum with Etruscan collections. Nearby small towns include Sarteano. The surrounding countryside combines wooded slopes on Monte Cetona and cultivated land on the Valdichiana plain. Road and rail links are convenient via the Chiusi–Chianciano Terme A1 motorway exit and Chiusi station. The area is noted locally for Etruscan archaeology in the Chiusi area and for hiking on Monte Cetona.
