Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€542/m²), the home is priced below the local €658/m² reference, but allowing roughly €24,000 for unspecified works brings the effective cost to about €742/m². The independent entrance, terrace, fireplace, and additional 70 m² cellar add value, though the listing does not state the condition or renovation history.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely characterful Tuscan townhouse with exposed timber beams, terracotta floors, chandeliers, and a magnificent traditional stone fireplace. The house appears solid and usable, with a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, and finished rooms, though the interiors are dated rather than turnkey. The advertised countryside terrace and large cellar could add substantial appeal, but they are not shown in the photos.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 finishes, kitchen, and bathroom are functional but dated and may need refreshing.
- The gallery does not verify the condition of the roof, terrace, cellar, or building systems.
- Some rooms appear sparsely furnished or used for storage, so exact day-to-day livability should be confirmed.
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 58/100The cluster lies in the Valdarno superiore, the Arno valley between the Pratomagno ridge and the Chianti hills. The Arno runs through this stretch of valley. The nearest larger town is Montevarchi, which has a substantial historic centre, railway station and the main services for the area; San Giovanni Valdarno and Figline are also close in the same valley. This part of the Valdarno is known for mixed farmland, olive groves and vineyards, with low wooded hills rising from the valley floor.
