At €75,000 for 120 m² (€625/m²), the home appears usable but its estimated all-in cost is about €825/m², well above the €469/m² local benchmark. The quiet setting near Narni’s historic centre, garden, parking and taverna add appeal, but the listing does not state the construction year or condition clearly, and energy class G may mean future upgrade costs.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Umbrian country home with a beautiful mountain-and-valley panorama, large paved terrace, private land, traditional tiled roof, and multiple fireplaces. The interior is spacious, furnished, and functional rather than luxurious, with only cosmetic modernization—and possibly some work in the taverna—needed. At €75,000, the combination of views, outdoor space, and real move-in usability is especially compelling.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The lower-level taverna appears more utilitarian and may need checking for dampness or finishing work.
- Energy class G suggests potentially higher heating costs.
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.
