In the listingRenovatedSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The description clearly says the property is to be restored/redeveloped, not renovated: at ~262 sqm, estimated works are about €288k (€1,100/sqm), so the effective cost is roughly €368k or ~€1,405/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €503/sqm. Panoramic setting near Orvieto is a plus, but this looks more like a developer project than a cheap livable home, and the stated condition contradicts the listing facts.
More on the house and the area
There is some authentic stone character and a bit of garden potential, and the Orvieto-area setting could be appealing. But the photos show a stripped, damaged shell with rubble, raw walls and at least one compromised roof area, so this is a major reconstruction project rather than a usable home today. The price looks cheap for the size, yet the real wow is held back hard by condition.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€104,000 – €153,000
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.
- Full renovation project, not currently habitable
- Some sections show severe deterioration and partial roof failure
- Photos do not prove the claimed panoramic view
- Likely investor/development-style purchase rather than an easy home move-in
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 82/100The cluster is in the volcanic tuff landscape around Orvieto, with the town itself standing on a long cliff of tuff above the Paglia valley. The Paglia river runs just below the town and the wider area is a mix of ravines, cultivated hills and table-like volcanic plateaux. Orvieto is the nearest town of size and it has one of the main cathedral complexes in central Italy, a substantial historic centre and rail access on the Rome–Florence line below the cliff. The area is known for the Orvieto hill town and for vineyards producing Orvieto wine.
