What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Assuming habitable condition (no condition stated) I estimate €200/m² renovation → €11,600, so effective price €90,600 or ≈€1,562/m² versus the local median €824/m² in Toscana/Arezzo; 25 photos and the text suggest it is not a ruin, but the listing trades at a large premium so the score is low.
More on the house and the area
A neat, recently refreshed terratetto in a small Tuscan village — bright fitted kitchen, attractive checkerboard bedroom floor and a usable living level make it move‑in ready. It’s a genuine, affordable entry into the Arezzo area but compact, with no garden and only a small balcony overlooking the street.
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.
- Compact 58 m² with only one small bathroom
- Balcony faces a narrow village street — no scenic view or much privacy
- Lower level has a low ceiling and compact layout
- No private garden or outdoor land
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 55/100This cluster is in the built-up area of Arezzo, so the immediate setting is an urban one of streets, housing and commercial zones rather than open countryside. The city lies on the edge of the Val di Chiana and below the first relief of the Tuscan Apennine foothills. The nearest larger natural feature is the Casentino side of the Apennines to the north, with the Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park beyond the 15 km radius. Arezzo itself is a historic provincial city with a substantial old centre, churches, museums, services and rail connections. The city is known for Piero della Francesca frescoes, the sloping Piazza Grande and the antiques fair.
