Habitable 71 m² apartment near the sea, with heating and a terrace, but the estimated all-in cost is about €89,200 (€1,256/m²), well above the local €660/m² benchmark. The listing does not say the building year or energy class, though the 50 photos provide useful verification material.
More on the house and the area
This is a real-looking, compact coastal apartment with a small planted frontage and a potentially useful terrace, but the exterior has little distinctive character and no proven view. The polished interior images suggest a much more attractive home, yet they do not convincingly match the basic exterior, so the property's actual livability and finish remain uncertain.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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 verified-looking exterior is modest and gives no sea view; the property is near the coast, not visibly beachfront.
- Many interior photos appear highly staged or illustrative and may not depict this exact apartment.
- The facts list zero bathrooms despite a bathroom image and a floor plan showing multiple WCs; verify the actual layout and fixtures.
- Confirm terrace condition, utilities, legal conformity, and whether the apartment is genuinely habitable as advertised.
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 55/100The Tyrrhenian coast is within the area, with a long low sandy shoreline at Tor San Lorenzo and Marina di Ardea. This stretch sits on the flat Agro Romano and reclaimed coastal plain south of Rome, with dunes, pine woods and farmland in the immediate hinterland. The mouth of the Fosso della Moletta is on this coast, and the river valleys and drainage channels shape the local plain more than any relief. Rome is the nearest large city and its services are part of daily life. Ardea is an ancient Latin site known for its historic old centre on a tufa rise and archaeological remains, but the wider surroundings are mainly suburban coastal development and ordinary plain landscape.
