See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €38,000 (€507/m²), the 75 m² dwelling is currently unusable and completely to renovate; estimated works bring the effective cost to about €1,607/m², far above the local €364/m² reference. The substantial bottega, storage, garage and panoramic setting add value, but the F/2 classification and non-habitable condition make this a high-risk, project-heavy purchase.
More on the house and the area
A characterful Umbrian stone-and-brick farmhouse with a beautiful wooded mountain view, arched entrance, traditional shutters, old doors, and a substantial fireplace. The interior is furnished and appears basically habitable rather than a bare shell, but it is very dated and needs meaningful renovation to become a comfortable full-time home. At €38,000 for 75 sqm, the combination of historic character and panorama is compelling.
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€30,000 – €44,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs substantial renovation and modernization, despite appearing structurally roofed and occupied.
- Exterior masonry shows extensive patching and weathering; roof, wiring, plumbing, and heating condition need verification.
- No clear evidence of a modern kitchen or fully usable second bathroom in the gallery.

The area around
Location score 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Foligno, so the resident landscape is the Umbra Valley rather than open countryside. The Apennine relief rises immediately to the east with Monte Subasio above Assisi and the first ridges of the Valnerina and the Monti Martani within the wider 15 km setting. The Topino river crosses Foligno. Monte Subasio Regional Park lies just to the north-west around Assisi and Spello. Spello is the nearest historic hill town of note, and Assisi is close by with major monuments and UNESCO status. Foligno itself is a substantial service town with a rail station, hospitals, schools and a full commercial centre, and it is known as a main centre of the central Umbrian plain.
