What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Large, well-photographed country house with pool near the sea (6 km), but the effective price is high: €235,000 + estimated €26,800 renovation = €261,800 → ≈€1,953/m², about 2.8× the regional baseline of €707/m². The listing omits condition and energy class, so value looks premium-priced rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
Turnkey, family-ready home with a very stylish, modern open-plan kitchen and bright living spaces — everything looks finished and liveable. Bedrooms and bathrooms are complete and the layout is practical, but outdoor space is limited and there’s no visible sea view or historic charm.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- No sea or panoramic view visible despite being ~6 km from the coast
- Only modest private outdoor space (small courtyard/terrace)
- No historic character — contemporary townhouse style, not a rustic Tuscan cottage
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 68/100The cluster lies on the Tuscan Maremma coast with the Colline Metallifere (Metalliferous Hills) rising inland to the east. The Tyrrhenian coast is about 6 km away at the Gulf of Follonica; the municipality includes a small marina at Marina di Scarlino and the shoreline within 15 km includes the Pineta di Follonica and the sandy beaches of the Gulf of Follonica. No regional or national park is inside 15 km (Parco Naturale della Maremma is further to the south). There are no ski lifts within 15 km; the nearest ski area is on Monte Amiata, significantly farther by car. The nearest town of size is Follonica (around 10 km) with a railway station, shops and coastal tourist services; the provincial capital Grosseto is about 35–40 km to the south with wider services and regional rail connections. The area is part of the Maremma and has a local history of metalliferous mining; local economic activities include agriculture (olive oil, wine), coastal tourism and marina-related services.
