For a casale (farmhouse) in Val d’Orcia, the price per square metre is only a starting point. A casale to renovate generally costs €1,000 to €1,500 per square metre; a fully restored one in a prime position is well above €3,000. Value then depends on total floor area, the pool and above all the land: one hectare of Brunello di Montalcino vineyard can be worth €500,000 to €1 million on its own. Average prices on the large portals for the municipality of Montalcino, about €1,540 to €2,350 per square metre, include flats in the villages and do not describe casali. A casale’s value is therefore assessed property by property. A Trevi Elite advisor compares restored and to-renovate casali for you. For more detail, see our Val d’Orcia guide.
