The €312/m² asking price looks attractive against the €470/m² local benchmark, but a complete roof replacement, an upper apartment needing renovation, and a large unfinished attic push estimated all-in costs to about €1,112/m². The listing does not clearly state the overall condition or renovation scope beyond these major works.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric Umbrian stone palazzina in a historic village, with arched passageways, exposed beams, a 70 sqm panoramic terrace, and views across the wooded valley. The first-floor apartment appears usable with a fitted kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, heating, and traditional character, but the roof replacement and unfinished upper level make this a substantial renovation project. At 320 sqm for €100,000, the scale and setting create strong bargain appeal.
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, €800/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€63,000 – €112,000
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.
- The entire roof requires complete replacement, a major structural expense.
- The second-floor apartment and attic still need substantial renovation.
- The home is in a historic borgo with narrow streets and limited immediate parking.
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.
