Farmhouse and Villa Restoration in Cetona, Tuscany
We restore farmhouses, poderi and historic town houses in Cetona, in the Valdichiana Senese, between Renaissance towns, vineyards and the plain reclaimed by the Medici.
Why Cetona
Why restoring in Cetona needs specialists
The Valdichiana around Cetona combines Renaissance towns, noble villas and a farming plain that was drained over centuries. Buildings range from brick sharecropper houses of the reclamation period to stone farmhouses on the hills and elegant town houses inside the historic walls.
Brick is the dominant material: walls, vaults, cornices and floors. Restoring them means repairing masonry with compatible lime mortars, treating rising damp properly, and rebuilding roofs with reclaimed tiles over modern insulation, keeping vaults and beams visible wherever the structure allows.
Wine and hospitality make this area attractive for owners who want both a family home and an income: we plan restorations that can accommodate guest annexes, pools and outdoor kitchens, following the planning and heritage procedures required for each property.
Hillside stone farmhouse
Stone walls, loggia and views over the valley: consolidation, new roof and terraces in terracotta and travertino.
Historic town house
Property inside the historic centre: façade, staircase and decorated ceilings restored under the municipal building code.
Wine estate with annexes
Main house, cellar and outbuildings restored together, suitable for private use or hospitality.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Cetona
Do you also restore properties inside the historic centre of Cetona?+
Yes. Town properties need particular care with façades, joinery, staircases and decorated ceilings, and follow the municipal building code and, when listed, the heritage authority. We manage design, permits and construction as one process.
How do you deal with rising damp in old brick walls?+
By finding the cause first: ground water, missing drainage or cement renders that trap moisture. We then use breathable lime-based systems, ventilated floors and proper drainage instead of sealing the wall.
Can you manage the whole project in Cetona if I live abroad?+
Yes, and it is the most common situation for our clients. One single project manager coordinates every trade on site and sends you regular updates with photos, videos and progress reports, plus scheduled video calls at the key decision points. You do not need to be in Italy while the works run.
Is the first consultation free?+
Yes. The first conversation and the preliminary assessment of the property are free and without obligation: we look at your goals, at the planning constraints on the building and at a realistic budget range before preparing any quotation.
How much does it cost to restore a Tuscan farmhouse?+
As a realistic reference, a full conservative restoration ranges between €1,200 and €2,800 per square metre, depending on the state of the structure, the roof, the systems and the level of finishes. After the site survey you receive an itemised estimate with a work schedule, so there are no surprises during construction.
Do you also handle permits and the heritage authority?+
Yes. We prepare and follow the planning applications with the municipality and, when the building or the landscape is protected, the authorisation process with the Soprintendenza. Design, paperwork and construction stay with one team, so responsibility is never split.
