At about €516/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable property, the effective price is only slightly below the local comparison level of €534/m², making this a fairly priced home rather than a standout bargain. The listing mentions autonomous heating and a kitchen and includes 26 photos, but it does not say how many bathrooms there are or provide broader technical details.
More on the house and the area
A well-kept, sunny suburban villa with a fenced garden, covered porch, shutters and a sound-looking roof; the 139 sqm size is compelling at this price. It appears to be a real, potentially usable home rather than a renovation shell, but the lack of interior photos and the contradictory bathroom information prevent a higher score. The setting is pleasant but ordinary, with no proven sea, mountain or historic-borgo character.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 gallery shows only the exterior, so interior quality, layout and actual livability are not verified.
- The listed bathroom count is 0 despite the description calling the property habitable; confirm bathrooms and utilities.
- This is a court-auction property, requiring careful legal, occupancy and access due diligence.
- The aerial panorama images are explicitly illustrative and do not represent the property's actual surroundings.
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 61/100The area sits in the lower Sabina countryside, with low tuff and limestone hills above the Tiber valley. The river closest to daily life is the Tevere, with the Nazzano, Tevere-Farfa Regional Nature Reserve nearby along the river corridor. The nearest larger town is Monterotondo, which has full everyday services and a rail connection toward Rome. Farther south, Rome strongly shapes work and transport patterns, but it is outside the immediate landscape. This part of northern Lazio is known for olive groves, mixed farmland and small hill settlements.
