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 €80,000 for 80 sqm, the ask is €1,000/sqm; with light works implied by the text, I estimate about €250/sqm renovation, so effective cost is roughly €1,250/sqm. That is far above this low Umbria baseline of €393/sqm, but the house appears genuinely habitable, has 20 photos, panoramic view, cellar/garage, and sits in tourist Rasiglia, which supports a still-positive score.
More on the house and the area
This has real dream value from the wooded hamlet setting and the open valley-and-hills view, with a simple old Umbrian feel. Crucially, it is a genuine livable house already equipped with kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and heating, not a shell. The wow is more in the location and outlook than in the architecture, and it would benefit from exterior works and cosmetic updating.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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.
- Exterior access stairs need refurbishment
- Interiors are habitable but dated and fairly dark
- Approach appears via narrow unpaved lane
- Exterior finishes/shutters need some repair
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 67/100The cluster is in the Umbra Valley at the foot of the Apennines, with Monte Subasio to the west and the first ridges of the Valnerina and the Monti Martani within the surrounding landscape. The Topino and Menotre river system runs through this part of the plain. The Monte Subasio Regional Park begins a short distance west around Assisi and Spello. Foligno is a substantial town with a full service centre and a walled historic core, and Assisi, Spello, Bevagna and Montefalco are all nearby hill towns with preserved historic centres. Assisi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This area is known for olive groves, wine hills around Montefalco, and the broad cultivated plain between the hill towns.
