What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €326/m², the €30,000 asking price is well below Umbria's €498/m² baseline, and the historic-center location adds value. However, the condition is unspecified and the description emphasizes potential; assuming €700/m² renovation, effective cost is about €1,026/m², making it only a fair project.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric stone townhouse in Lugnano’s historic center, with beautiful masonry, traditional details, a sunny entrance court, and a striking valley view. The kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, and living spaces are functional rather than polished, while the rough lower storage area keeps it below dream-home territory. At €30,000 for 92 sqm, it offers exceptional character and a realistic path to living in a historic Umbrian home.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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 main living areas appear usable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- A large lower storage/cellar area is visibly rough, cluttered, and may need substantial work.
- Access is via a steep external staircase, and there is only one bathroom.
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 63/100The area sits in the lower Tiber valley, with wooded volcanic hills and cultivated slopes around the village. The Tevere river runs nearby. Orvieto is the nearest major historic town in the wider area, and Amelia is the nearer small centre with services and a fortified historic core. This part of southern Umbria is known for olive groves, vineyards and stone hill villages.
