Estimated renovation €700/m² → €77,000 of works, giving an effective price of €166,000 total (€1,509/m²) versus the regional median of €660/m²; Empoli is a solid location but the all-in price is well above market, so this looks overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A solid, traditional Tuscan town house with attractive original details (brick fireplace, arched opening, terrazzo floors) and intact structure. It needs a clear renovation (some floors stripped, kitchen removed) but is a realistic, modestly priced home to personalise and live in after works.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €39,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Several rooms have had the finished floors removed and show exposed sub‑floor/dirt — new flooring is required.
- Kitchen units removed and bathroom(s) and finishes are dated — full interior refit needed to modernise.
- Property is structurally intact and heated but marketed as 'needs renovation' — expect a renovation project rather than move‑in ready.
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 49/100Empoli sits in the Arno valley on the plain where the Arno and Elsa basins meet. Within about 15 km the landscape is mostly river plain, cultivated land and low hills toward Vinci and the lower Montalbano. The Arno is the named river of the area. Florence is the nearest major city and provides the full range of services, rail links and airport access, but it lies beyond the local landscape radius. The area is known for agriculture, glassmaking around Empoli, and for being the gateway between the Florentine plain and the Valdelsa.
