Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
In good condition, the €98,000 price plus roughly €14,400 of light updating implies about €1,561/m², well above the €658/m² local comparison level. The independent multi-level layout, cellar and parking are positives, but access directly from the main road and public rather than private parking weaken the value.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable, well-maintained townhouse with warm terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams, traditional furnishings, and a characterful stone-and-brick cellar. It appears move-in ready, with a fitted kitchen, bathroom, two sleeping areas, and private entrance, but lacks a garden or notable view and has the practical drawback of state-road access.
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 – €8,000
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.
- Direct access from a state road may mean traffic noise and less privacy.
- Parking is public and located a few dozen meters away rather than on the property.
- Energy class G; the spiral staircase may be inconvenient for some residents.
- The lower cellar/laundry level is utilitarian and storage-heavy rather than polished living space.
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 61/100The cluster lies in the Valdarno superiore, the broad Arno valley between Arezzo and Florence, with low hills of vineyards, olive groves and mixed woodland around the plain. The Arno runs through the area. The Pratomagno ridge rises east of Montevarchi and is the main mountain presence within this landscape. Montevarchi itself is the nearest town of size and has a full range of everyday services, a railway station on the Florence–Arezzo line, and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for wine and olive oil, with Chianti hills beginning to the west of the valley.
