In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The home is described as habitable and ready to occupy, but its effective cost is about €1,493/m² after modest upkeep, versus roughly €530/m² for comparable stock. The charming Cortona-area setting, terrace, heating and rental potential add value, but not enough to offset the substantial price premium.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable Tuscan village home with a private stone terrace, sweeping wooded mountain views, and a dramatic historic castle setting nearby. The interiors are simple rather than spectacular, but they are clean, furnished, and appear ready to live in immediately, making the combination of character, setting, and €75,000 price especially compelling.
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.
- The home is compact at 58 sqm with only one bedroom.
- Access involves exterior steps and the hillside setting may be less convenient for some buyers.
- Energy performance, utilities, and legal details are not provided.

Lake Trasimeno is within about 15 km to the east-southeast. Cortona is the nearest substantial town; it has a walled historic centre on the hillside, major churches and museums, and Etruscan remains. The area is known for olive groves and vineyards on the slopes and arable farming on the plain.
