What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 (€500/m²), the asking price is close to comparable Umbria homes, but the property needs renovation, bringing the estimated effective cost to about €1,200/m². The approved recovery project, panoramic setting, and 1-hectare plot add value, but do not fully offset the substantial works required.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric stone Umbrian casale with traditional terracotta roofs, extensive surrounding greenery, a broad valley view, and about one hectare of land. However, it is a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home, and the gallery does not prove the interior condition or existing comforts.
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€28,000 – €49,000
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.
- The house is explicitly sold as needing renovation, and no interior photos confirm current livability.
- Utilities, heating, access, and the actual condition of floors and bathrooms are unclear.
- The secluded wooded setting may mean higher maintenance and renovation logistics.
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.
