More on the house and the area
Charming stone country house with authentic façade, a small private garden/terrace and pleasant hill views. Interiors look recently refreshed and fully usable (kitchen, wood/pellet stove, two bedrooms) so you could move in with minimal work. Excellent value at €37k, but remember it’s a compact home in a rural hamlet with services some distance away.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Small size (65 m²) with 2 beds and only 1 bath
- Rural/hill location — nearest towns ~13–16 km away
- Limited/sloping outdoor space and likely tight parking/access
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 72/100The cluster lies in the Umbrian Valley at the foot of the Monti Martani, with the first Apennine relief immediately east of town. The Tessino runs through Spoleto and the Nera valley is nearby, with the Valnerina entering daily life for this part of southern Umbria. The area is close to the Monteluco hill above Spoleto, a protected wood long associated with the town, and the wider landscape is the transition from cultivated valley floor to wooded mountain slopes. Spoleto itself is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, the Duomo, the Rocca Albornoziana and the Ponte delle Torri. The area is known for its hill town setting and for the Festival dei Due Mondi held in Spoleto.
