What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 (€714/m²), plus an estimated €25,200 for improvements, the effective cost is about €914/m²—well above the €652/m² local comparison level. The panoramic historic-center setting, walkable services, garden and 126 m² layout add value, but the G energy rating and unspecified improvement needs limit the deal quality.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
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 sits in the Sabina hills (Monti Sabini) that form the immediate landscape around Poggio Catino. The Tiber (Tevere) valley and its lower plain lie within the local area to the west. There is no national or regional park within about 15 km. No ski lifts are within 15 km; the nearest Apennine ski area (Monte Terminillo) is further away to the northeast (several tens of kilometres). The nearest larger local town is Poggio Mirteto a few kilometres away, which provides shops, municipal services and regional rail connections from stations in the valley toward Rome. The area is agricultural with olive groves; Sabina DOP extra-virgin olive oil is a recognised local product. The immediate surroundings do not carry UNESCO or other national landscape designations.
