At €60,000 for 550 m², the advertised price is €109/m², but complete restoration at roughly €1,100/m² implies an effective cost near €1,209/m²—well above the local comparison level of €500/m². The listing mixes a rural dwelling with agricultural outbuildings and 2 hectares of land, while the exact sale composition and legally habitable area are not clearly defined.
More on the house and the area
This is a large Tuscan rural farmhouse with genuine historic character, including a handsome traditional fireplace, plus approximately two hectares of olive-growing land and attractive rolling countryside. However, the property is clearly a major restoration project: the interiors are barely shown, the exterior is heavily deteriorated, and the agricultural annexes look close to derelict.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€218,000 – €322,000
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.
- Completely requires renovation and is not currently move-in ready.
- Several roofs, outbuildings, and exterior walls appear seriously weathered or incomplete.
- Utilities, structural condition, access, and renovation permissions need thorough verification.
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 area is in the upper Valdarno, with low wooded hills, olive groves and vineyard country between the Arno basin and the Chianti hills. The Arno valley lies nearby, and the Chianti uplands begin to the west. Cavriglia borders the Chianti wine area and the landscape around it is known for vines, olive oil and small hill villages. Montevarchi and San Giovanni Valdarno are the nearest larger towns, with rail services, supermarkets and the main everyday services of the upper Valdarno. Siena, Arezzo and Florence are all outside the 15 km landscape but matter for wider access.
