At €30,000 (€179/m²), even allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified works, the effective cost is about €379/m² versus a local reference of €498/m². The townhouse offers 168 m², six bedrooms and 18 photos, but the listing does not state its condition, construction year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, characterful Umbrian village house with stone street frontage, traditional shutters, a private green garden, and generous space at an unusually low price. The kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, tiled floors, and roofed structure make it a real livable home rather than a renovation shell, though it needs cosmetic updating and investigation of damp issues.
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 – €19,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated, with visible ceiling/wall moisture staining in several rooms.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large six-bedroom layout.
- Narrow village access may limit direct car access; storage/outbuildings are rough and utilitarian.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Foligno, so the immediate setting is an urban plain in the Umbrian Valley rather than open countryside. The Apennines rise east of the town, with Monte Subasio and the mountains toward Colfiorito and the Valnerina within about 15 km. The Topino river crosses Foligno. The Parco regionale del Monte Subasio begins nearby on the Assisi-Spello side of the valley. Foligno is a substantial town with rail connections, services, shops and a notable historic centre. Spello, with its intact hilltown fabric and olive slopes, is close by. The area is known for the broad cultivated Umbrian valley between Assisi, Spello and Foligno.
