The €25,000 asking price is low, but this 100 m² shell needing complete renovation brings the estimated effective cost to about €135,000 (€1,350/m²), well above the local €498/m² reference. Its position 4 km from Trevi’s historic center is attractive, but the listing does not explain permits, utilities, or the feasibility of the planned conversion.
More on the house and the area
The stone-and-brick exterior and traditional timber roof give this Umbrian farm building genuine historic character. However, the interior is an empty, heavily deteriorated shell with rubble, damaged surfaces, and no facilities, so it is not currently a livable home. Its appeal is mainly as a restoration project rather than a ready dream house.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Complete renovation project with no bathroom, kitchen, or usable living spaces.
- Interiors have rubble floors, major deterioration, and visible structural/roof concerns.
- Renovation costs could substantially exceed the €25,000 purchase price.
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 72/100The Monti Martani ridge and its wooded slopes lie within 15 km to the north and northeast of the town. There is no major lake or coastline inside the 15 km radius. No national park is centred on the town; nearby hills include wooded and cultivated slopes rather than protected high-mountain terrain. There are no ski lifts within 15 km (Apennine ski areas are farther away). The nearest town of size is Foligno (about 12–15 km), which has a railway station, hospitals and larger commercial services. Smaller medieval towns within 15 km include Bevagna and Trevi. The town contains notable fresco cycles by Benozzo Gozzoli in the church of San Francesco. The local area is known for vineyards (Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG) and olive oil production, with land use dominated by vineyards, olive groves and mixed farmland.
