Estimated renovation €200/m² → renovation ≈ €24,000, so effective price ≈ €47,700 or ≈ €397/m², well below the regional townhouse median of €575/m² (≈31% discount), making this a strong value; however the listing has only 1 photo and records 0 bathrooms, so key details are missing.
More on the house and the area
Charming, move-in-ready country house with a tiled roof, shutters, private garden and sweeping olive/vineyard views — very photogenic and genuinely livable. The extremely low price makes it a standout bargain, but confirm bathrooms, utilities and legal details before proceeding.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Listing shows 0 bathrooms — confirm presence and number of bathrooms.
- Verify utilities and legal/title (price is unusually low).
- Property listed as 'Townhouse' but appears to be a detached house — confirm boundaries/garage/land included.
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 62/100The area sits in the Cimini foothills and the volcanic countryside of southern Tuscia. Lake Vico lies within reach to the east, inside the Cimini volcanic complex, and Monte Cimino rises above the surrounding hills. The Riserva Naturale Lago di Vico is the main protected area nearby. Viterbo is the nearest city of size, with a substantial medieval centre and services; Civita Castellana is also close as a local service town. This part of Tuscia is known for hazelnut groves, tuff villages and the Etruscan landscape of ravines and plateaus.
