Price €115,000 (€405/m²) looks cheap vs Umbria median €533/m², but ‘da ristrutturare’ estimated at €700/m² → renovation ≈ €198,800 and total ≈ €313,800 or ≈ €1,104/m², well above the regional median, so this is overpriced as a renovation project.
More on the house and the area
Big, characterful 3‑storey villa with stone-arched porch, balconied façades and large rooms with fireplaces offering sweeping Umbrian hill views. The structure and outdoor space look solid and immediately appealing; interiors are dated but intact, so this is a realistic renovation/refresh project that could become a dream family home at a very attractive price.
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€56,000 – €100,000
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.
- Property is dated and advertised 'da ristrutturare' — kitchens, bathrooms and finishes need updating
- Likely need to upgrade heating, electrics and insulation for modern living
- Some signs of moisture/damp in at least one bathroom ceiling; maintenance/roof check advised
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 56/100The area is the middle Tiber valley with low farmed hills, fields, woods and scattered hamlets. The Tiber runs east of Marsciano, and the Nestore stream crosses this part of the valley. Perugia is the nearest city of size, with the full services of a provincial capital and a substantial historic centre. This part of Umbria is known for olive groves, mixed farming and small hill villages.
