I estimate minor works (~€200/m²) → effective price €152,000 or ~€950/m², well above the local median of €549/m²; the listing has 36 photos and garden/terrace but does not state the property condition, so the asking price appears high for the region.
More on the house and the area
Lovely, characterful Umbrian casale with intact roof, original terracotta-beamed ceilings and decorative tiled floors set in open farmland with clear hill views. Structurally sound and largely complete inside, it will need finishing (windows/doors, bathrooms, kitchen and utilities) but is a realistic, very liveable country home once completed.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 finishing: install kitchen, bathrooms and final fittings
- Some windows/doors and electrical/plumbing fixtures appear incomplete
- Rural location — check distance to shops/services and access in winter
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 Monti Martani ridge and its wooded slopes lie within 15 km to the north and northeast of the town. There is no major lake or coastline inside the 15 km radius. No national park is centred on the town; nearby hills include wooded and cultivated slopes rather than protected high-mountain terrain. There are no ski lifts within 15 km (Apennine ski areas are farther away). The nearest town of size is Foligno (about 12–15 km), which has a railway station, hospitals and larger commercial services. Smaller medieval towns within 15 km include Bevagna and Trevi. The town contains notable fresco cycles by Benozzo Gozzoli in the church of San Francesco. The local area is known for vineyards (Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG) and olive oil production, with land use dominated by vineyards, olive groves and mixed farmland.
