What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable 100 sqm at €75,000 implies about €950/sqm effective including a light €200/sqm refresh, versus a very low local baseline of €305/sqm. The listing is a stone farmhouse portion split into 2 independent 50 sqm apartments in good condition, which helps usability, but on price alone it sits well above this already low baseline.
More on the house and the area
This has real rustic Umbrian charm: a handsome stone farmhouse facade, timber-beam ceilings and a usable, immediately habitable interior. The beauty is more in character than in scenery, and the house looks plain-but-solid rather than dreamily finished. The separate fenced garden adds lifestyle appeal, but it is not the kind of view-rich, fully polished dream home that scores in the top bands.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Detached garden rather than directly attached to the house
- Interiors are simple and a bit dated despite being habitable
- No proven open view from the photos
- Possible extra outbuilding is separate and not included in the main price
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 sits on the volcanic plateau between Lake Bolsena and the upper Paglia valley. Lake Bolsena is just to the southwest and is the main landscape feature within this radius. The area is close to the northern edge of the Alfina plateau, with mixed farmland, woods and tuff formations typical of this border zone between Umbria and northern Lazio. Orvieto is the nearest substantial town; it has the cathedral and the old town on a tuff cliff above the valley. This part of the area is known for volcanic soils, olive oil and wine.
