The farmhouse is offered as a 300 m2 shell (‘allo stato grezzo’); I estimate €1,100/m2 for full restoration (~€330k) giving an effective price ≈€580k (~€1,933/m2) vs the regional baseline €500/m2. The listing has only 3 photos and omits year and energy data, so the high effective price looks above market.
More on the house and the area
Large Tuscan farmhouse shell with a roomy 2,000 m² garden and pleasant panoramic countryside views — a nice setting. The building is an unfinished brick shell, so it’s a project rather than a move-in home and will need full completion and 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€119,000 – €176,000
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.
- Property is 'allo stato grezzo' (unfinished shell)
- No internal finishes, bathrooms or kitchen installed
- Likely need full utility connections and permits for completion
- Significant renovation/fit-out costs required
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 area is in the lower Arno valley between the Montalbano hills and the plain around Empoli. The Arno runs nearby, and the Padule di Fucecchio wetland lies within this area to the west. The Montalbano ridge rises close by with olive groves, woods and scattered hill villages. Cerreto Guidi is known for the Medici villa, which is part of the UNESCO serial site of Medici Villas and Gardens in Tuscany. Empoli is the nearest larger town and has rail links, services and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for mixed agricultural countryside with vines, olives and small hilltop settlements.
