At €81,000 plus an estimated €11,000 for habitable-condition work, the effective price is about €1,673/m²—nearly three times the €570/m² local benchmark. The listing offers a garage and 27 photos, but it does not state the bathroom count clearly or provide energy information.
More on the house and the area
A charming, genuinely habitable small home with a lush private garden, mature trees, olive trees and an exceptionally inviting covered veranda. The rustic wood ceilings, textured walls, fireplace and furnished kitchen give it real lived-in character, although the interiors are dated and the missing bathroom information is a significant practical question.
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€4,000 – €6,000
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 listing reports zero bathrooms, so bathroom provision should be verified carefully.
- The covered veranda roof, paving and exterior finishes look dated and may need maintenance.
- No impressive landscape or sea view is shown; the appeal is mainly the private garden and outdoor living spaces.
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 61/100The cluster is in the Monti Prenestini, with the Simbruini mountains farther east on the horizon and the upper Aniene valley beyond them. The nearest major river landscape is the Aniene basin, and Tivoli is within the wider daily orbit with Villa d’Este and Hadrian’s Villa, both UNESCO sites, but they are outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Around Poli itself the setting is inland limestone hill country with olive groves, wooded slopes and small historic hill towns such as Palestrina and Cave nearby. Palestrina is the nearest substantial town in the area, with services, a sizeable historic centre and the Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia. The area is known for hill villages on the edge of the Roman hinterland and for olive cultivation.
