Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listing price €67,000 for 234 m² (€286/m²) looks ordinary vs the local median (€286/m²), but the ad does not state condition so I assumed light renovation (~€200/m²) adding ~€46,800; effective cost ≈€114k (~€486/m²), ~70% above the quoted local median (baseline is based on only 11 listings). Photos are present but the condition is unspecified, so buyer should confirm works required.
More on the house and the area
Solid, spacious multi-level home with long balconies and pleasant wooded-hill views — a real, liveable house rather than a ruin. Interiors are original but functional, so this is an affordable Umbria home that needs mainly cosmetic updating and some exterior maintenance.
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€16,000 – €26,000
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.
- Dated 1970s/80s interiors and bathroom; will need modernisation to suit contemporary tastes
- Balcony tiles, external render and gutters show wear — expect some exterior maintenance/repairs
- Check heating/insulation and any hidden issues despite apparently habitable rooms
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 63/100The area sits in the lower Tiber valley, with wooded volcanic hills and cultivated slopes around the village. The Tevere river runs nearby. Orvieto is the nearest major historic town in the wider area, and Amelia is the nearer small centre with services and a fortified historic core. This part of southern Umbria is known for olive groves, vineyards and stone hill villages.
