Asking €105,000 for 75 m² plus an estimated €200/m² renovation (~€15,000) gives an effective price of €120,000 or ≈€1,600/m², well above the regional baseline of €761/m². Good photos, cellar and small courtyard are positives, but the effective €/m² makes this look overpriced for a centro storico terratetto.
More on the house and the area
A ready-to-live-in terratetto in a hilltop Tuscan borgo with classic stone roofs and wide countryside views. Interiors are functional but dated, so it’s a charming, usable home that would reward a light-to-medium refresh.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Dated interior finishes and 1970s/80s tiles — cosmetic renovation likely needed
- Small private courtyard/garden only, limited outdoor space
- Single bathroom and compact layout (75 m²)
- Two-storey terratetto with stairs (no lift)
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 72/100Monte Cetona (1,148 m) is the nearest named mountain and lies inside the local 15 km radius. The municipality and town are known for thermal springs and spa facilities located in and around the town. The surrounding landscape is typical of southern Tuscany: rolling hills with farmland, olive groves and vineyards. Nearby small hill towns include Cetona (at the foot of Monte Cetona) and Sarteano; Sarteano has a medieval centre and local services. The Chiusi–Chianciano Terme area is the nearest larger service and rail hub (station on the Florence–Rome line). The area sits close to the regional borders with Umbria and Lazio.
