At €475/m², the €19,000 apartment is priced below the local €660/m² reference, but its complete renovation raises the effective cost to about €1,575/m². The independent entrance, balcony and central village location are positives, while energy class G and the substantial work required limit the upside.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old village apartment with textured stone façades, vaulted ceilings, a balcony, and a surprisingly open distant view. However, the interior is clearly a renovation project rather than a move-in home, despite having floors, basic kitchen plumbing, and a bathroom. At €19,000 it is an intriguing bargain for someone wanting an authentic Lazio village base, but the condition limits the dream-home appeal.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €23,000
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.
- Completely to renovate, with visible damp, peeling plaster, soot and aging finishes.
- The kitchen and bathroom are basic and may need replacement or substantial updating.
- No garden; the home is on a street in a dense historic village, and the distant view is shared from a small balcony.
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 43/100The cluster is in the eastern Roman urban belt, on the plain and low hills between the Aniene valley and the first relief of the Monti Tiburtini and Lucretili. The Aniene river runs nearby. Tivoli is the nearest major historic town and has the Villa Adriana and Villa d’Este, both UNESCO sites, as well as the waterfalls of Villa Gregoriana. The Monti Lucretili Regional Park begins farther northeast, but the immediate surroundings are mainly built-up suburbs, quarries, roads and fragmented countryside tied to the Rome metropolitan area.
