What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 for 130 sqm, the ask is about €600/sqm, but with a typical renovation budget of ~€700/sqm the effective cost is ~€1,300/sqm. That is far above the local baseline of €503/sqm for similar sub-€100k stock, so despite the independent layout, garden/courtyard and large ground-floor storage, this looks weak on price.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, real village house with a warm ochre facade, shutters, balcony and a small private outdoor area, so it feels like an actual home rather than a shell. Inside it is spacious and roofed with usable room proportions, but it needs clear renovation and modernization before it becomes truly charming. Good value for the size, though the setting is ordinary rather than spectacular.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Perugia, so the lived setting is an urban hill city rather than open countryside. The area sits on Umbrian hills above the upper Tiber valley. Lake Trasimeno is the main named water body in the wider area, but it is outside the 15 km radius. Perugia is the nearest town of size and has a large historic centre, the university, major services, and monuments including the Fontana Maggiore and the Palazzo dei Priori. The city is known for its medieval fabric, its university presence, and the Umbria Jazz festival.
