At €35,000 (€438/m²), this appears attractive, but allowing roughly €16,000 for a readily habitable home puts the effective cost near €638/m²—about the local norm. Its historic-center setting, balcony and services are positives; the G energy rating and remote inland location limit the upside.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, immediately livable historic-center home with a working stone fireplace, traditional wooden doors, tiled floors, and a panoramic balcony/view. The interiors are dated rather than renovated, but the kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, and utilities make it a real home—not a restoration shell—and €35,000 is a striking bargain.
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.
- The home is in a tightly packed historic-center setting with narrow stepped lanes and parking about 100 meters away.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated, with visible wall cracking and an energy class G.
- Heating appears to rely partly on the fireplace and bottled gas; confirm the bathroom, heating system, and utilities are fully operational.
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 68/100The Sabine hills surround Scandriglia, with wooded ridges and olive-growing slopes typical of this part of the province. The area lies close to the Turano basin and within about 15 km the main named natural feature is the Monte Navegna e Monte Cervia Regional Nature Reserve, which covers part of the nearby uplands above the Turano valley. Rieti is the nearest provincial town of size, with the usual administrative services and a substantial historic centre. This part of Sabina is known for olive oil and hill villages.
