See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €25,000 asking price is very low at €227/m², but the 110 m² home needs substantial renovation, including finishing a rough room into a bathroom; estimated works could bring the effective cost to about €927/m² versus roughly €636/m² for comparable homes. The terrace, generous layout and 16 photos are positives, but the renovation budget needs careful verification.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely atmospheric three-level borgo house with exposed timber beams, terracotta floors, a fireplace and a beautiful green Tuscan-Lazio landscape view. It is a real, roofed home with multiple bedrooms and a terrace, but the interiors are tired and the property needs significant renovation before it becomes a comfortable full-time residence.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €39,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed: peeling plaster, damp/stained walls and visible cracking.
- The kitchen is very basic and one ground-floor room is still unfinished; only one small bathroom is shown.
- Old wiring, fixtures and windows may require updating, and the structural condition should be professionally checked.
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 71/100The cluster is in the tuff hill country between the Tiber valley and the Calanchi of the Tevere, with ravines and eroded clay badlands around Civitella d’Agliano and Bagnoregio. The Tiber is the main river of the area a short distance to the east. The Monte Rufeno nature reserve lies within roughly this radius on the northern side toward Acquapendente. Orvieto, in Umbria, is the nearest larger town in practical daily use, with rail services and a full set of shops and services; it sits on a volcanic tuff cliff above the Paglia valley. Civita di Bagnoregio, the isolated hill settlement linked by a footbridge, is within this landscape. The area is known for volcanic tuff landforms, ravines and olive-growing mixed with small vineyards and fields.
