More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable small farmhouse rather than an empty shell, with a functional living-kitchen area, fireplace, tiled floors, and one bathroom. Its strongest appeal is the photogenic stone-and-brick exterior wrapped in mature vines and greenery, plus a private garden setting. It is charming and affordable, but the interiors are dated and show signs of damp, keeping it below dream-home territory.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- Visible damp staining and wall cracks suggest renovation or maintenance may be needed.
- Kitchen, furnishings, and finishes are dated and basic.
- The gallery does not clearly verify the roof condition, utilities, or the full garden/parking arrangement.
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 58/100The cluster is in the Alban Hills and Prenestini area east of Rome, with volcanic and limestone hill country rather than a plain. The nearest named natural feature is the Monti Prenestini just to the east, with higher ground around Palestrina and Capranica Prenestina inside the local landscape. Rome is the nearest large city and shapes daily life with rail links, services and employment. Palestrina is the nearest historic town of note, with the sanctuary complex of Fortuna Primigenia and the archaeological museum in the Barberini Palace. The area is known for hill towns, vineyards and olive groves on the Rome hinterland.
