What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €812/m², the asking price is already 63% above the Umbria townhouse baseline of €498/m² before allowing about €500/m² for unspecified renovation, implying roughly €1,312/m² effective. The independent entrance, garden and central location help, but condition and key property details are missing.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely appealing Umbrian stone townhouse with exposed beams, a traditional fireplace, timber details, and a leafy enclosed garden with a small outbuilding. Unlike a ruin or empty shell, the house is furnished and clearly livable, with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and living spaces. Its character and garden are excellent value at €65,000, though the interiors are modest and old-fashioned rather than polished.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 usable but dated and likely need cosmetic refreshing.
- The home has only one bathroom for three bedrooms.
- Access includes narrow village lanes and exterior stone stairs.
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 67/100The cluster is in the Tiber valley near the lower slopes of the Amerini hills. The Tevere runs nearby and Lago di Alviano, the reservoir on the river, is within the area. The Oasi WWF di Alviano protects wetlands around the lake and is known for birdlife. Orvieto is the nearest major historic town in the wider area, and Amelia is the nearer small centre with an old hill town core. This part of southern Umbria is known for mixed farmland, olive groves and hill villages on volcanic and alluvial terrain.
