See what needs doing and what each job costs
300 m² farmhouse for €280,000 is described as "completamente da ristrutturare"; estimating €1,100/m² → renovation ≈ €330,000 and an effective price ≈ €610,000 (≈€2,033/m²) vs regional baseline €500/m². Good photos (15) and a private garden help, but the very high restoration cost makes this overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Lovely old Tuscan farmhouse with authentic brick/stone character, private garden and wide rolling-hill views — very photogenic outside. The building is intact (roof mostly present) but shown as a full renovation project, so it’s a dream-for-making: beautiful setting but needs significant work to become a liveable home.
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.
- Completely to be renovated — interiors not shown and likely require full rebuild/modern systems
- Some windows/doors missing and evidence of storage/agrarian use — expect structural/roof checks
- High-voltage pylons/power lines visible close to the house
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 59/100The cluster lies on the lower hills west of Florence, in a mixed landscape of vineyards, olive groves and small wooded ridges above the Arno plain. The Arno runs nearby, and the area is crossed by the minor valleys and hills that link Florence with the Val di Pesa and the Chianti side. The nearest town of size is Florence, with the full range of city services, major museums and rail connections. Within about 15 km the most notable historic site is the Villa medicea di Poggio a Caiano, part of the UNESCO Medici Villas and Gardens in Tuscany. The area is known for wine and olive oil production on the Florentine hills.
