What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 for 120 sqm, the ask is about €650/sqm; assuming habitable condition from the house layout and 27 photos, the effective cost is roughly €850/sqm after light works. The local baseline is weak and low at €500/sqm, so this looks livable but not a standout bargain on the available numbers.
More on the house and the area
The stone exterior has real Umbrian character, and the private garden plus independent house format make it appealing as a genuine home rather than a fantasy shell. Inside it is basically usable, with kitchen, heating and bedrooms in place, but it is tired and there are clear condition issues. This feels charming and affordable, yet it needs real refreshment and some repairs before it becomes truly dreamy.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and need clear cosmetic updating.
- Visible damp/plaster damage in some rooms.
- Bathroom ceiling shows serious deterioration and likely repair needs.
- Only one bathroom and some small ancillary rooms may limit easy modern living.
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

The Nera river runs east of Amelia, and the Tiber valley is nearby to the west. The Monti Martani rise to the north-east within this radius.

Amelia itself is known for its polygonal pre-Roman walls and historic hill town core.
