Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The home is described as immediately habitable, so estimated effective cost is about €102,000, or €1,200/m², versus a €596/m² local benchmark. Its historic-center position, private garden, views and good building condition add value, but the asking price remains substantially above comparable local stock.
More on the house and the area
A highly photogenic stone home in a picturesque historic center, with a charming church setting, open Umbrian views, private garden, and a traditional fireplace. The interiors are plain and dated rather than spectacular, but the apartment is furnished, heated, equipped with a kitchen and bathroom, and described as immediately habitable.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- Energy class G and likely older heating/insulation.
- The home has only one bathroom.
- The private garden and attic appear to require stairs and some upkeep.
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 61/100This is hill country on the border between Umbria and Tuscany, with mixed woods, fields and olive groves around a small ridge settlement. Monte Nibbio and the low hills of the Monte Peglia area are nearby, and the Monte Peglia e Selva di Meana UNESCO MAB reserve extends across this part of western Umbria. The nearest larger centres in daily use are Città della Pieve and Fabro, with services and rail access at Fabro-Ficulle on the Florence–Rome line; Chiusi is also close enough for wider services. Orvieto lies farther south and Perugia farther east, but they are outside the immediate landscape. The area is known for rural stone villages, woodland and agricultural scenery typical of the inland Umbrian-Tuscan border.
