Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,037/m², the €84,000 asking price is well above the local comparable level of €649/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified works brings the effective cost to about €1,237/m². The historic-center setting, sea view and 3 km distance from the coast add appeal, but the listing does not say whether the apartment is habitable or renovated.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, furnished home with a finished kitchen, two bathrooms, comfortable bedrooms, tiled floors, exposed beams, and attractive vaulted arches that give it authentic historic character. The interiors are more charming than luxurious, and the strongest selling point—the sea glimpse from the balcony—is described but not visually proven here.
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 advertised sea view and balcony are not shown in the supplied photos.
- The apartment is arranged over two levels, with internal stairs.
- No exterior, building facade, or surrounding street condition is visible.
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 is in the Gulf of Gaeta area on the Tyrrhenian coast, with the Aurunci Mountains rising inland within the same local landscape. The Garigliano River reaches the sea here and marks the Lazio-Campania boundary nearby. The Parco Naturale dei Monti Aurunci begins inland and covers the limestone mountain area behind the coastal plain. The nearest town of size is Formia, which has a port, rail station and the main concentration of services on this stretch of coast; Gaeta is also nearby with a substantial historic centre and harbour. The archaeological area of Minturnae on the Garigliano is in the immediate area and is one of the main local historic sites. This stretch is known for a mix of beaches, river plain agriculture and the limestone slopes of the Aurunci.
