Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 plus an estimated €18,000 for light updating, the effective cost is about €922/m²—well above the €518/m² local benchmark. The house appears usable and offers parking, two bathrooms and proximity to services, but the listing does not state its energy class, construction year or exact condition.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable village house with two bathrooms, a working-looking kitchen, bedrooms, heating, garage, and attractive views over the Umbrian countryside. Its old patterned floors, wooden shutters, village setting, and nearby stone buildings add character, but the interiors are dated and the attic is unfinished, keeping it below dream-home territory.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Clearly habitable, but the interiors are very dated and would benefit from cosmetic renovation.
- The attic is a rough storage space rather than finished living area.
- Exterior render and some fixtures appear tired; verify roof, systems, and the detached agricultural land.
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 67/100This is hill country on the border between the upper Tiber and Trasimeno areas, with mixed woodland, fields and ridgelines typical of inland western Umbria. Lake Trasimeno lies within about 15 km to the north-west. The area is close to the Monte Peglia and Selva di Meana zone, a protected area west of Marsciano and Orvieto. Perugia is the nearest city of size, with a university, hospitals, rail links and a full range of services. Città della Pieve, within the wider area, is known for its brick historic centre and Perugino associations. This part of Umbria is known for olive oil, woodland and small hill villages.
