See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €32,000 asking price is very low at €291/m², but installing a boiler and radiators plus completing the systems is likely to bring the effective cost to about €592/m², above the local €490/m² reference. The house is described as being in good condition with a garden, but its quiet rural hamlet location limits the upside.
More on the house and the area
A solid, recently renovated townhouse with a lovely Umbrian hillside outlook, balconies, and a private lawn garden. The upper floors appear genuinely usable, with tiled rooms and a functioning bathroom, though the ground floor is more of a raw multifunctional/storage area. At €32,000, it offers strong value, but heating and utility activation are essential before comfortable full-time living.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- No boiler or radiators are installed, and utilities need to be activated.
- The ground-floor spaces are unfinished/storage-like and would need conversion for better living use.
- Energy class G; the home is spread over three levels and has a very basic, dated finish.
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 88/100Monte Subasio sits immediately above Assisi and reaches about 1,290 m; the slopes and summit are part of the Parco Regionale del Monte Subasio. The town occupies the eastern slope of Monte Subasio and the immediate landscape descends from limestone hill to the Umbrian plain (Topino/Chiascio valley) with extensive olive groves and agricultural fields. There are no ski lifts on Monte Subasio; the nearest ski areas are in the central Apennines to the south and require roughly an hour or more by car. Perugia is the nearest city of size and provides a university campus, hospitals, long‑distance rail links and cultural institutions. Perugia–San Francesco d'Assisi airport (PEG) sits on the plain between Perugia and Assisi and is within roughly 10–15 km. Assisi’s historic centre and the Basilica of San Francesco are a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the area is a major pilgrimage destination and is known for medieval frescoes. The local economy around Assisi includes olive oil production and building stone from Monte Subasio has been used historically in local architecture.
