At €100,000 for 80 m² (€1,250/m²), this is substantially above the €700/m² benchmark even before allowing for renovation. The apartment has useful extras—garden, parking, balcony, garage and cellar—but the listing does not say what condition it is in or provide construction and energy details.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, comfortable country home rather than a renovation shell, with functioning living spaces, bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, heating, and a welcoming fireplace. The outlook over the surrounding Tuscan landscape adds appeal, but the interiors are ordinary and dated, while the cellar areas are distinctly rough.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 is clearly usable but decorated and finished in a dated style, especially the narrow tiled kitchen.
- The cellar and garage areas are rough, damp-looking, and utilitarian rather than attractive living spaces.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a five-bedroom layout.
- The listing mentions a garden, but it is not clearly demonstrated in the photos.
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.
