In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 (€600/m²), the house appears habitable but would still require roughly €13,000 for normal updates, bringing the effective cost to about €800/m² versus a local benchmark near €576/m². The garden, garage, fireplace, heating, furnishings, and two bathrooms add practical value, but the inland location and above-baseline effective price limit the deal appeal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable, furnished 65 sqm home with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fireplace, heating, garage, and a leafy private garden. The stone-paved terraces and lush wooded mountain setting create real Italian village charm, although the interior is more comfortable and practical than beautiful, with dated finishes.
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 – €7,000
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 clearly habitable but the interiors and kitchen are dated and utilitarian.
- Access involves long, steep exterior steps, despite the advertised disabled access.
- The lush garden appears substantial but may require regular maintenance; no energy class or running-cost information is provided.
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 74/100The Simbruini Mountains are the immediate setting. The cluster is inside the Monti Simbruini Regional Park, a protected Apennine area of beech woods, karst plateaus and mountain pasture. The Aniene valley is nearby, and the upper valley landscape is part of daily life in this area. The nearest ski lifts are at Campaegli and Monte Livata above Subiaco, roughly 35–50 minutes by road depending on the exact starting point and conditions; they are small local lifts rather than a major ski domain. Subiaco is the nearest substantial town in daily use, with shops, services and the Benedictine monasteries of Santa Scolastica and San Benedetto. The area is known for mountain walking, forests and summer escape from the Rome plain.
