The €39,000 asking price is €470/m², but estimated renovation of about €58,100 brings the effective cost to roughly €1,169/m²—well above comparable local homes at €489/m². The panoramic view is a minor positive, but the listing does not state the building year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic Umbrian stone farmhouse with strong historic character, timber details, a fireplace and a leafy private setting. However, the actual interiors are heavily deteriorated and require major renovation, so this is a beautiful restoration project rather than a move-in-ready home.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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.

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 cluster sits on the lower slopes of Monte Ingino in the Apennine foothills north-eastern Umbria. The town of Gubbio itself contains a medieval historic centre with notable monuments including the Palazzo dei Consoli and a preserved Roman theatre. Gubbio is the site of the annual Festa dei Ceri (May 15) and is associated with the ancient Eugubine Tables (bronze inscriptions). The surrounding landscape is upland and wooded, with local hills and valleys used for agriculture and forestry rather than major lakes or coastal features. The regional capital Perugia is the nearest city of scale, offering a university, regional airport (Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi) and mainline rail connections (roughly a 40–50 km drive). There are walking and hiking opportunities on the nearby slopes; there are no major ski resorts or coastal beaches within the immediate 15 km radius.
