Asking €37,000; I estimate a light restyling ≈ €150/m² → renovation ≈ €10,200, so effective price ≈ €47,200 (≈€694/m²), which is above the regional median of €500/m². The property is described as habitable, in good condition with 26 photos and a central location, so it’s a reasonable but not bargain purchase.
More on the house and the area
Pretty stone-faced townhouse with authentic rustic character and a working fireplace; it’s genuinely habitable now but the interiors are dated and need modernization. Central village location with a useful cellar and balcony makes this a realistic, affordable live-in project rather than a turnkey dream home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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€3,000 – €6,000
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.
- Needs cosmetic updating/restyling (dated interiors)
- Single‑glazed wooden windows (low thermal performance)
- No private garden or significant outdoor space
- Small footprint — limited living area (68 sqm)
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.
