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
At €75,000 for 140 sqm, the asking price is €536/sqm; with a habitable-condition renovation allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €736/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €352/sqm in Umbria farmhouses. The house looks genuinely livable and has strong positives (36 photos, garden, garage/cellar, hamlet setting), but on pure numbers it is not a discount against this already-low baseline, so it scores as a fair rather than standout deal.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a real, usable detached house with a solid roof, proper terraces and a generous wooded garden, so it feels more like a livable retreat than a project. The setting is peaceful and green, but the house itself is visually ordinary and the outdoor areas need tidying. Good value for the size and land, though the wow comes more from privacy and practicality than beauty.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Exterior is quite plain 1980s rather than characterful.
- Garden and paved areas look dry and somewhat neglected.
- No view or standout setting is proven in the photos.
- Interior quality is not shown, so livability relies mainly on listing claims.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Umbrian interior among cultivated hills and small woods at the edge of the Martani area. The Monti Martani rise nearby and shape the landscape within this radius. The town of Acquasparta has a substantial historic centre with the Palazzo Cesi. Todi and Terni are the nearest larger centres used for services and daily needs beyond the village itself. This part of Umbria is known for olive groves, mixed farming and hill villages rather than for a single standout natural feature inside the immediate area.
