Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €400/m², allowing roughly €200/m² for work despite the stated good condition, the effective cost is about €600/m²—roughly in line with local pricing. Independent access, balcony, fireplace and 14 photos support the offer, while the inland hamlet location limits its appeal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable Umbrian village home with generous space, working fireplaces, exposed timber beams, traditional shutters, and several attractive period details. The interiors are solid and furnished rather than a renovation shell, though the décor and some finishes are dated and the exterior setting is pleasant but not spectacular.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Only one bathroom for a five-bedroom home.
- Interiors are well maintained but dated, with some attic/cellar areas appearing more basic or storage-oriented.
- No standout landscape view, private garden, or substantial outdoor space is shown.
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 69/100The cluster sits on the Umbrian Apennine side of Gualdo Tadino, with Monte Pennino and the ridge system between Umbria and Marche within the local landscape. The area is linked to the headwaters and upper valleys of the Chiascio basin. Monte Cucco Regional Park lies nearby to the north-west, and this part of the province is known for wooded slopes, mountain pasture and cave and hang-gliding country around the massif. Gualdo Tadino itself is a small hill town with a substantial historic centre, civic museums and the Rocca Flea fortress. Assisi is the nearest major heritage town in the broader area, but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for ceramics and for an Apennine setting rather than for a single landmark of national rank.
