What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 (€700/m²), estimated effective cost is about €900/m² after modest €200/m² works, versus the Umbria country-house baseline of €536/m². The medieval historic-center setting and panoramic view add value, but the price remains substantially above baseline and the listing lacks a stated condition, with energy class G.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely atmospheric medieval-borgo house with exposed stone, vaulted brick passageways, arched openings, shutters, and a listed valley view. It appears to be a complete multi-level home with kitchen, living room, bathroom, two bedrooms, cellar, and storage—not an empty shell—though the exterior needs refreshing and the interior condition is unverified. At €70,000, the historic setting and livable layout create strong dream-home appeal.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 exterior shows noticeable age and weathering, so some renovation is likely.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 100 sqm, seven-bed property.
- The photos do not confirm the condition of the kitchen, interiors, roof, or utilities.
- Access is through narrow historic-borgo lanes and stepped passages.],
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 68/100The cluster is in the Tiber valley below the volcanic ridge of the Monti Amerini, with wooded hills and farmed slopes around Guardea. The Tevere runs nearby and Lake Alviano, formed by a dam on the river, is within the local area. The Oasi WWF Lago di Alviano lies here, a protected wetland known for birdlife. Amelia is the nearest historic town of size, with substantial walls and a Roman and medieval centre; Orvieto and Todi are farther but still important service and cultural towns for the wider area. This part of southern Umbria is known for olive groves, mixed farming and small hill towns on volcanic and alluvial terrain.
