At €85,000, the advertised €425/m² is already above the local €372/m² reference before renovation; with a full restoration, no heating, and an estimated €1,100/m² renovation budget, the effective cost is about €1,525/m². The description is also contradictory, claiming two units of about 200 m² each while citing 171 m² of usable area, so the true size and value require verification.
More on the house and the area
This is a photogenic historic Umbrian farmhouse grouping with stone walls, old tiled roofs, mature greenery, private garden areas, and open agricultural surroundings. However, it is clearly a major renovation project rather than a usable home today, with no visible finished interiors and significant signs of neglect.
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€79,000 – €117,000
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 required; the property is explicitly sold as needing refurbishment.
- The photos show abandoned-looking interiors/exteriors, broken windows, graffiti, overgrowth, and no visible habitable living spaces.
- Heating is currently unavailable, and utilities, structural condition, roof integrity, and renovation permissions require verification.
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 55/100This is in the built-up area of Perugia, on the hills between the upper Tiber basin and the Umbrian valleys. The Tiber valley lies within this radius, and Lake Trasimeno is farther out beyond the 15 km landscape. Perugia is the nearest town of size and has a large historic centre on a hill, the University of Perugia, the Università per Stranieri, major services, museums, and the Rocca Paolina. The area is known for its hill city, university life, and chocolate production linked to Perugina.
