The €16,190 asking price is only €184/m², but allowing about €200/m² for a habitable home gives an estimated all-in cost near €384/m², roughly in line with comparable homes around Spoleto. Heating, fireplace, furnishings and an electric gate are positives, while the listing does not state a bathroom or energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable 88 m² stone house in the wooded hills near Spoleto, with two bedrooms, a fireplace, kitchen, bathrooms according to the description, and a terrace/balcony. The exposed-stone exterior and rural setting provide authentic Umbrian character, while the €16,190 price is exceptionally attractive. It is more charming and livable than a renovation shell, though the old-fashioned interiors and auction uncertainty keep it below dream-home territory.
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 – €10,000
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.
- Auction purchase with legal and occupancy details requiring careful verification.
- The listing data is inconsistent about bathrooms: the description says two, while the facts show zero.
- Photos are low-quality and the auction materials warn that they may not reflect the property's current condition.
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 78/100The cluster is in the Spoleto valley at the foot of the Umbrian Apennines, with Monte Luco immediately above the town and the Monti Martani and Valnerina landscapes within the surrounding area. The Tessino stream cuts through the town and the Nera valley is close to the east. The area is tied to the Monteluco protected woodland above Spoleto, one of the oldest holm-oak woods recorded in Italy. Spoleto itself is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, the Roman theatre, the Rocca Albornoziana, and the Ponte delle Torri spanning the wooded gorge. The area is known for olive groves on the lower slopes and for Spoleto’s historic urban fabric and festival activity.
