Effective price ≈ €418/m² (€23,685 + est. renovation €21,800 = €45,485), about 27% below the Lazio baseline of €575/m², and the house is listed as habitable with garage and cellar. The listing omits bathroom count and energy class/build year, so some basic data is missing.
More on the house and the area
Very affordable, move-in-ready townhouse with new-looking kitchen, bathroom and heating plus garage and cellar — a practical, livable bargain. Not a romantic countryside or historic jewel: plain urban setting and modest exterior reduce the 'dream' factor.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Urban street-facing location with no scenic views — small paved outdoor area faces parked cars.
- Ground-floor/lower-window rooms may have limited natural light and privacy.
- Photos show a finished interior but confirm number of bathrooms and legal compliance (plans/permits).
- Facade and external details look utilitarian and partly worn.
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.
