At €900/m², the €45,000 asking price is already about 38% above the local €650/m² benchmark before allowing for any updates. The listing does not say whether the home is habitable or renovated, and it mentions Rosignano Marittimo while the listing location is Castellina Marittima.
More on the house and the area
This is a charming Tuscan countryside home with broad agricultural views, generous outdoor space, and attractive old brick arches and tiled floors. However, the interior is only partly finished, with damp walls, exposed masonry, clutter, and an apparently incomplete bathroom, so it needs meaningful renovation before comfortable full-time living.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Interior walls show significant dampness, peeling plaster, and unfinished repair work.
- The bathroom appears extremely basic or incomplete, and no kitchen is visible.
- The property is in a shared countryside farmhouse setting; privacy and access 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.
