This is a judicial auction (Tribunale di Firenze) with price €62,464 (~€573/m²) and the description states the unit is 'al grezzo' (shell) so expect full refit ≈€1,100/m²; legal complexity over shared/optioned land increases risk, so auction status makes this unsuitable for ordinary buyers.
More on the house and the area
Spacious 109 m² unit with a separate garage and a very competitive price, but the property is sold as an unfinished shell and will need full completion (services, kitchen, bathrooms and finishes). The photos appear generic, so treat this as a renovation project rather than a move-in ready dream home; good bargain for someone ready to fit-out.
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€43,000 – €64,000
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.
- Listing and Italian description state the unit is 'al grezzo' (unfinished shell) — likely no finished kitchen or bathrooms.
- Photos in the ad are indicative and may not show the actual condition of this property.
- External area/land is partly common and partly owned by third parties; purchase/option details apply and may add cost.
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 area is in the Valdelsa, with low farmed hills, small woods and a settled rural landscape between the Elsa valley and the ridges toward Empolese and Chianti. The Elsa river runs through Castelfiorentino. Empoli is the nearest larger town and has a full range of services and rail links; Florence, Pisa and Siena are farther but matter mainly for transport and work rather than for the immediate landscape. San Gimignano and the more distinctive central Tuscan hill landscapes are outside the 15 km radius. The area is known for mixed agriculture with vines and olives and for the dense pattern of small historic centres typical of inland Tuscany.
