Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 (€194/m²), the asking price is far below comparable Umbria country houses, but the 180 m² 1960s property appears to require meaningful updating and the description is incomplete about heating and overall condition. Allowing roughly €90,000 for renovation brings the effective cost to about €694/m², so the apparent discount is less decisive.
More on the house and the area
A remarkably affordable 180 sqm Umbrian country house with attractive exposed-stone façades, many balconies, a private outdoor area, and wooded surroundings. The interiors are dated and modest rather than stylish, but they are furnished, floored, equipped with kitchens and bathrooms, and appear genuinely livable rather than a renovation shell.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €35,000
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 fully usable but very dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Exterior stairs, terraces, and paving show age and may need maintenance.
- The listing appears to comprise two independent units; verify utilities, heating, and legal separation.
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 72/100The cluster sits in the eastern Umbrian Apennines with the Monte Cucco massif and the Parco Regionale del Monte Cucco within a few kilometres. Monte Cucco is a karst massif with notable caves (Grotta di Monte Cucco) and is a local centre for speleology, hang-gliding, walking and mountain-biking. The immediate landscape is forested Apennine slopes with chestnut woods, pasture, small agricultural plots and scattered hamlets. There are no ski lifts in the immediate area; alpine-style ski resorts in the central Apennines lie much farther away. The nearest town of size is Gubbio (medieval historic centre, a Roman theatre and the annual Festa dei Ceri), within about 15 km and providing shops and services.
