At €38,000 for 75 sqm, the purchase price is €507/m², but the property is currently non-agibile, classified F/2, and completely to restore. Using an estimated €1,100/m² renovation cost, the effective cost is about €1,607/m²—far above the €364/m² local benchmark, despite the useful accessory buildings.
More on the house and the area
This early-1900s stone farmhouse has genuine character, a traditional arched entrance, fireplace and a beautiful wooded Umbrian mountain setting. However, it is classified as F/2 and non-habitable, so despite the existing rooms and bathroom layouts, it is a major restoration project rather than a move-in 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€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.
- The property is officially non-habitable and completely in need of renovation.
- Visible exterior masonry, windows, drainage and outbuildings appear substantially aged and may require structural work.
- No clear evidence of current utilities, compliant systems or reliable year-round access.
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 55/100The 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.
