More on the house and the area
Large 127 m² townhouse in Vetralla at a very low price per sqm — the interior already shows new floors, tiling and lighting but the kitchen and bathroom fittings look unfinished. Good bargain for someone willing to do a moderate, quick completion job, but it isn’t a move-in-perfect dream home or a picturesque historic find.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€25,000 – €44,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 70/100The cluster lies on the volcanic highland at the southern edge of the Monti Cimini (Cimini hills). Lake Vico and the wooded slopes of the Monti Cimini are within roughly 15 km to the north‑west; Lake Vico is a volcanic lake with a designated natural reserve (Riserva Naturale Lago di Vico). The Tyrrhenian Sea (Lazio coast) is about 31 km to the west. There are no local ski lifts; the nearest Apennine ski areas are well over 100 km to the east. The nearest city of size is Viterbo, the provincial capital, which offers a hospital, provincial administrative services and rail links to Rome; nearer small towns such as Sutri and Ronciglione provide basic shops and services. The surrounding landscape is volcanic and tuff‑based, with mixed arable land, olive groves and small woodlands. The province contains numerous Etruscan and medieval sites and thermal springs in Viterbo are regionally significant.
