See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €556/m², the asking price is already above the local reference of €382/m², and allowing roughly €700/m² for a property described as “in costruzione” makes the effective cost unattractive. The “Renovated” claim conflicts with the construction status, although the panoramic setting, garage, cellar and fireplace add some value.
More on the house and the area
The panoramic Umbrian valley and mountain setting is the clear highlight, with open countryside and generous surrounding land. However, this is currently a bare, unfinished brick shell rather than a livable villa, requiring major completion work before it could become a 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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€25,000 – €44,000
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 property is visibly an unfinished construction shell, despite the listing label saying “renovated.”
- No finished floors, kitchen, bathrooms, doors, or usable interior living spaces are shown.
- Roofing and structural/finish work appear incomplete, with substantial debris and overgrown access areas.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Tiber valley below the volcanic ridge of the Monti Amerini, with wooded hills and farmed slopes around Guardea. The Tevere runs nearby and Lake Alviano, formed by a dam on the river, is within the local area. The Oasi WWF Lago di Alviano lies here, a protected wetland known for birdlife. Amelia is the nearest historic town of size, with substantial walls and a Roman and medieval centre; Orvieto and Todi are farther but still important service and cultural towns for the wider area. This part of southern Umbria is known for olive groves, mixed farming and small hill towns on volcanic and alluvial terrain.
