In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €19,000 (€396/m²), this habitable 48 m² stone townhouse is attractively priced upfront, with autonomous heating, fireplace, terrace and cellar. Allowing about €9,600 for light works gives an effective cost near €596/m², somewhat above the €490/m² local reference, but the historic-center setting and strong listing detail support the price.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric stone townhouse in Giove’s historic center, with beautiful masonry, brick-paved lanes, timber ceilings, a working fireplace and a small terrace/courtyard feel. The interiors are genuinely habitable rather than an empty shell, though compact and dated, making the €19,000 price especially compelling for someone seeking an authentic Italian village home.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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 48 sqm, with a compact one-bedroom layout and steep internal stairs.
- Kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated and basic.
- The attic bedroom has a low, sloping ceiling; there is no evident panoramic view or private garden.
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 58/100The cluster lies in the lower Tiber valley, with low wooded and cultivated hills around it and the Tevere not far to the east. The area is on the borderland between southern Umbria and northern Lazio, with the Cimini and Amerini hill country influencing the landscape more than any single landmark within 15 km. Amelia is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and polygonal walls. Orte is also nearby as a rail and road junction with everyday services. This part of the countryside is known for olive groves, mixed farming and small hill towns.
