The listing is explicitly an auction ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even ignoring that, the effective cost is about €676/m² including a habitable-level renovation allowance, versus a €396/m² baseline, so it is not a bargain on these numbers.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a cheap auction opportunity in a quiet rural-edge location near fields and the Tiber, but the imagery does not show the actual villa. With no exterior/interior proof, no visible character, and unclear livability details, it does not create much dream-home wow.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Only map and location images are shown; the house itself is not visible.
- Condition is unverified despite the 'habitable' label and auction format.
- No bathroom is listed in the facts, so livability details are unclear.
- Setting appears flat and semi-rural rather than scenic or characterful.
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 is in the upper Tiber valley, with the Tiber nearby and low Umbrian hills around it; to the west the first ridges of the Apennine system rise toward the Alpe della Luna and Monte Acuto area. Montone and Città di Castello are the nearest historic centres of note in daily reach; Perugia is the nearest larger city with a full set of services, rail connections and major shops. The area is known for mixed farmland, woods, tobacco-growing in parts of the valley, and the fortified hill towns of the upper Tevere.
