Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €583/m², the €70,000 asking price is essentially in line with comparable Lazio townhouses, not a meaningful discount. The home is described as ready to live in, but allowing roughly €200/m² for updates and its G energy rating brings the effective cost to about €783/m²; the listing does not state the construction year or formal condition.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable 120 sqm townhouse with a working kitchen, two bathrooms, intact roof, terraces and a characterful stone fireplace. The panoramic views over the valley, lake and surrounding mountains are exceptional, while the interiors are traditional and dated rather than renovated or luxurious. At €70,000, the combination of space, usability and scenery is unusually compelling.
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.
- Interior finishes and kitchen are dated, though the home appears usable immediately.
- Steep external stairs and multiple levels may be inconvenient for limited mobility.
- Energy class G; parking and exact maintenance status are not shown.
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 cluster is on the western side of Monte Terminillo in the Sabine Apennines. The Velino River plain and the Piana Reatina lie immediately below, and the Laghi Lungo e Ripasottile wetlands are within the basin near Rieti. The Riserva Naturale dei Laghi Lungo e Ripasottile is the protected area closest to the village, and much of the Terminillo massif is covered by the Monti Reatini regional reserve. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Terminillo above Pian de' Valli, roughly 25–35 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Rieti is the nearest town of size and has a full range of services, a historic centre, and the cathedral. The area is known for the Monte Terminillo mountain, the Rieti plain, and the Franciscan sites around the Reatine valley.
