Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €81,000 (€1,473/m²), this 55 m² house is nearly three times the local sub-€100k benchmark of €510/m²; with modest habitable-home costs, the effective price rises to about €1,673/m². The description presents it as a usable independent home with garden and parking, but its actual condition is not stated, and the 42 km distance from the sea adds no location premium.
More on the house and the area
A charming, lived-in country home with a generous leafy garden, mature trees, olive trees, a covered portico, and a large private courtyard. Inside, the fitted kitchen, fireplace, tiled floors, and rustic textured walls make it feel like a real home rather than a renovation shell, though the finishes are distinctly dated and the exterior needs tidying.
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 house is clearly usable but dated, with older finishes and some exterior maintenance needed.
- Energy class G may mean higher heating costs and future efficiency work.
- The bathroom and bedrooms are not shown in the provided gallery.
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 57/100The cluster is on the eastern side of the Roman Agro at the foot of the Monti Prenestini, with low limestone hills rising nearby and cultivated land around the settlements. The Aniene valley lies to the north within this area. Tivoli is the nearest major historic town, with Villa d'Este and Hadrian's Villa, both UNESCO sites, and with everyday services tied to the eastern edge of Rome. Palestrina is also nearby, with its historic hill town and the sanctuary complex of Fortuna Primigenia. This part of inland Roma province is known for the transition from the plain around the capital to the first Apennine foothills and for long-settled agricultural land.
