At €23k plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (~€56.7k) the effective price is ~€79.7k or ~€984/m², well above the regional typical €660/m². Good points: historic-centre terratetto, 10 photos and a recently renovated cellar, but the renovation burden makes this only a fair value.
More on the house and the area
A very charming terratetto in the heart of a Tuscan borgo — authentic stone/stucco facades, arched openings and high ceilings give it real historic character. Interiors are lived‑in and dated but fundamentally sound (recently renovated cellar), so with light-to-moderate work this becomes a lovely, very affordable village home.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.

The area around
Location score 62/100The cluster is in the Colline Metallifere, with wooded hills, cultivated slopes and old mining country. The Farma and Ombrone river valleys shape this part of inland Grosseto. The Maremma Regional Park is farther south and outside the immediate area, so the landscape here is inland hill country rather than protected coast. Grosseto is the nearest larger town, with full services and rail connections. This area is known for vineyards, olive groves and the historic mining landscapes of the Metalliferous Hills.
