Asking price €12,000 plus an estimated renovation €700/m² × 61 m² = ~€54,700 total (≈€897/m²), well above the regional median of €500/m². Good photos, existing heating and central location reduce risk, but the full renovation cost makes the all-in price unattractive.
More on the house and the area
Lovely stone-front townhouse right on a little medieval piazza under the church towers — very characterful exterior and a real Umbrian borgo location. The building is roofed, floored and has heating, fireplace and a cellar, but the interior needs a full cosmetic renovation. Excellent low‑cost restoration/bargain opportunity to create a compact village 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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs full cosmetic renovation (walls, finishes, some plaster/wiring visible).
- Small footprint in tight historic lanes — limited parking/access.
- Rooms are basic and dated though services (radiators, methane boiler) appear present.
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 58/100This is hill country between the Tiber valley and the lower Umbrian ridges, with a farmed landscape of woods, olive groves and fields. The Tiber valley lies to the west, and the Nera valley and the first Apennine reliefs are farther east. Todi is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre on a hill, and Terni is also within practical reach for services and rail connections. The wider area is known for olive oil, vineyards and small medieval hill towns.
