In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,475 (€725/m²), adding roughly €16,400 for habitable-condition works gives an effective cost near €925/m², about 45% above the local €636/m² benchmark. Heating and 26 photos help, but the sparse description does not state the bathrooms, energy class, or building year.
More on the house and the area
This is a clean-looking, modern apartment with a pleasant sunny exterior and surrounding rural hills visible nearby. At 82 sqm and described as habitable with autonomous heating and a kitchen, it appears to be a realistically usable home, but the lack of interior photos limits confidence and the setting has only modest visual appeal.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- No interior photos, so the claimed habitable condition and kitchen cannot be independently assessed.
- Bathroom details are missing from the listing facts.
- The property appears to be in a modern, repetitive residential development rather than a characterful historic home.
- Several aerial and panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not represent the property or its immediate surroundings.
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.

Monte Soratte stands nearby as an isolated limestone ridge above the plain. The Riserva Naturale Nazzano Tevere-Farfa lies in the Tiber valley, and the lower Farfa valley is part of the local landscape. Farfa Abbey is in the area near Fara in Sabina. The nearest larger centre is Rieti for provincial services, while the Rome urban area is the main external pull for work and transport. The area is known for Sabina olive oil.
