What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Including modest habitable works (~€200/m²) the effective price is about €98,200 total or €1,487/m², roughly 2.3× the local Tuscany baseline of €658/m²; the large 1,200 m² garden and furnished sale help but don’t justify this premium.
More on the house and the area
A compact, ready-to-use hilltop cottage with about 1,200 m² of private land and a pleasant valley view — a lovely, secluded Tuscan retreat close to the sea. Interiors are basic but complete (kitchen, bath, bedroom), making it ideal as a holiday home or rental, though expect some cosmetic updating and limited space/access.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Single bedroom / limited living space
- Hillside site with external steps and internal spiral stairs — access can be steep
- Simple/dated interior fittings — mostly habitable but cosmetic updating likely
- Parking not shown / may be limited
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.
