Rustico/casale in Via Roma
A pochissimi passi dal suggestivo centro storico di Graffignano e dal suo imponente Castello Baglioni, questo affascinante casale in pietra da ristrutturare rappresenta il connubio perfetto tra la comodità dei servizi e la quiete della campagna della Teverina.

What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €18,000 (€360/m²), the price is well below Lazio's €659/m² baseline, but the farmhouse is explicitly to be renovated. Estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €73,000 (€1,460/m²), above the baseline; the garden and proximity to Graffignano's historic center add some value.
More on the house and the area
The generous fruit-tree garden and rustic stone outbuildings have genuine rural charm, while the nearby castle and historic Graffignano setting add unusual character. However, this is currently a bare, highly basic farmhouse/outbuilding with no bathroom and no evidence of a livable interior, so it is a renovation project rather than a dream home ready to occupy.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €29,000
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 property is explicitly described as needing renovation.
- There is no bathroom, and the photos show a very basic agricultural outbuilding rather than a usable home.
- The main farmhouse appears to have unfinished or deteriorated interiors; utilities and legal residential status are unclear.
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 71/100The cluster is in the tuff hill country between the Tiber valley and the Calanchi of the Tevere, with ravines and eroded clay badlands around Civitella d’Agliano and Bagnoregio. The Tiber is the main river of the area a short distance to the east. The Monte Rufeno nature reserve lies within roughly this radius on the northern side toward Acquapendente. Orvieto, in Umbria, is the nearest larger town in practical daily use, with rail services and a full set of shops and services; it sits on a volcanic tuff cliff above the Paglia valley. Civita di Bagnoregio, the isolated hill settlement linked by a footbridge, is within this landscape. The area is known for volcanic tuff landforms, ravines and olive-growing mixed with small vineyards and fields.
