At an estimated all-in cost of about €50,500 (€1,010/m² including habitable-condition work), this is roughly 53% above the local €660/m² benchmark. The listing has many photos and autonomous heating, but key details such as bathrooms, building year and energy performance are not stated.
More on the house and the area
The property appears to be a habitable, roofed apartment with a pleasant private paved courtyard and plenty of natural light, but the setting is ordinary and there is no proven sea view or standout historic character. Its low price and stated heating are appealing, yet the contradictory plan and questionable interior gallery make the real size, layout, and livability 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€3,000 – €5,000
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 listing data says 0 bathrooms, despite the plan and photos suggesting otherwise; verify the legal layout and utilities.
- The gallery is internally inconsistent: 50 sqm and 2 rooms do not match the multi-bedroom, multi-bathroom floor plan.
- Several interior images appear illustrative or digitally staged, so inspect the actual apartment before relying on its condition.
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.
