At €49,000 (€480/m²), the asking price is 25% below comparable Lazio stock, and the furnished upper floor in Gallese’s historic center is a positive. However, the description accounts for only about 81 m² versus the stated 102 m², with 31 m² usable as a garage or deposit, while the condition is not stated and energy class G suggests additional work.
More on the house and the area
A clean, fully furnished and clearly livable apartment with a bright open-plan kitchen-living room, modern fittings, and a comfortable bedroom. It is attractive and unusually affordable for its size, but the interiors are contemporary rather than distinctly historic, and the photos do not prove the advertised borgo character or views.
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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Energy class G may mean higher heating costs.
- The 31 sqm ground-floor area appears more like a box, storage space, or separate unit than integrated living space.
- The gallery shows no exterior, terrace, or actual village/pre-Appennine views.
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 55/100The cluster sits in the Tiber valley country on the border between southern Tuscia and the Sabina-facing side of northern Lazio, with low tufa and clay hills cut by small streams. The Tiber is the main river in the area, a few kilometres east, and the landscape around Gallese is mainly farmland, wooded patches and ravines. The nearest town of size is Civita Castellana, which has full services and a substantial historic centre on a tuff plateau; Orte is also close as a rail and road hub on the Tiber corridor. Within this part of the province the area is known for tufa settlements, hazelnut and olive cultivation, and for being a transit corridor between Viterbo, Terni and Rome.
