Quadrilocale in Via Giuseppe Mazzini 107
In centro storico, nascosto fra i vicoli, si apre un appartamento di particolare fascino, intriso di storia, dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato. Di particolare pregio il monumentale camino del 1700 spicca nell'ampio salone dove le originali travi lasciano intravedere l'ambiente suggestivo di un tempo che fu. Dotato…

At €36,000 (€514/m²), the apartment is below the local €649/m² benchmark and benefits from a historic-center location. However, the description says it needs to be revisited, so estimated renovation brings the total to about €1,214/m²; condition and energy details are not stated.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely characterful 70 sqm historic-center home, dominated by a remarkable 18th-century monumental fireplace, original beams, tiled floors, and atmospheric village-lane setting. It appears roofed and broadly usable rather than a ruin, but needs cosmetic refurbishment and likely some practical upgrades before feeling fully move-in ready. At €36,000, the combination of authentic historic detail and livable structure is unusually compelling.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €25,000
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 roof/ceiling finishes show peeling paint and likely need repair or restoration.
- The kitchen appears basic and incomplete; the bathroom is not shown in the gallery.
- Access is through narrow historic-center lanes with stairs and no visible private outdoor space.
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 cluster lies in the volcanic landscape of the Monti Volsini (Vulsini) area of northern Lazio. The immediate terrain is low volcanic hills with small woodlands, olive groves, vineyards and arable plots typical of the Viterbo province. There are a number of small historic hill towns and villages within about 15 km that supply basic shops and municipal services. The local economy is largely agricultural and rural rather than industrial or touristic. No national-park or UNESCO designation applies to the immediate area.
