At €75,000 (€250/m²), the price looks low, but the 300 m² property is largely or entirely to renovate, including about 160 m² of cellars requiring a possible change of use. With estimated renovation costs of about €900/m², the effective cost is roughly €1,150/m², well above the local €484/m² benchmark; the 5,000 m² plot and existing utilities add value but do not offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a photogenic Umbrian rural complex with substantial exposed stonework, old brick detailing, a traditional fireplace, and around 5,000 square meters of flat land. However, the 300 sqm property is fundamentally a renovation project: the main roof appears renewed, but the interiors are very deteriorated and the outbuildings include compromised roofing. Its size and land at €75,000 create strong potential value, but it is not currently a realistically livable home.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €105,000
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 residential area is described as needing renovation, so it is not move-in ready.
- The interiors show severely deteriorated finishes, outdated services, and no clearly usable modern bathroom or kitchen.
- Some attached agricultural structures have visibly damaged or partially failing roofs; verify utilities, permits, and the proposed change of use.
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 62/100The area sits in the Tiber valley on the border between Umbria and northern Lazio, with cultivated hills, woods and the Tiber River near the village. Lago di Alviano and the Oasi WWF di Alviano lie nearby, a wetland reserve created along the river and known for birdlife and migration. Orvieto is the nearest larger historic centre of note in the wider area, with services and rail connections, and Amelia is another nearby town with a walled historic centre. The area is known for olive groves, woods and river wetlands rather than for a major mountain or coast landscape.
