What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€726/m²), this townhouse needs modernization; estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,426/m² (€166,900 total), versus a €650/m² local baseline. The historic borgo setting, terrace, parking, and 25 photos add appeal, but the renovation-adjusted price is substantially above market.
More on the house and the area
A characterful 117 sqm townhouse in a beautiful hilltop Tuscan borgo, with exposed stone and brickwork, fireplaces, a large terrace, and expansive valley views nearby. It is a real roofed and floored house with functioning rooms and a bathroom, but the dated interiors and visible wear make this a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €41,000
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 home needs meaningful modernization, especially the bathroom, kitchen, plasterwork, and some finishes.
- The terrace paving and exterior walls show substantial weathering.
- Townhouse access is through narrow historic borgo lanes; confirm parking arrangements and utilities.
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 on the Valdinievole plain at the foot of the Montalbano hills. The Padule di Fucecchio, the largest inland marsh in Tuscany, lies partly within this radius and is a protected wetland with canals, reeds and birdlife. Montecatini Terme is the nearest town of size, with railway access, services and the historic spa complex. Vinci is nearby on the Montalbano side and the area is known for olive groves, vineyards and Leonardo da Vinci’s birthplace.
