In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 for 75 m², plus an estimated €15,000 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €1,520/m² versus a local comparison level of €661/m². The 500 m proximity to the sea, terrace, heating, and 29 photos add appeal, but the premium is too large.
More on the house and the area
A clean, genuinely habitable apartment with a polished open-plan living area, modern kitchen, tiled floors, air conditioning, heating, and a small terrace/courtyard arrangement. The arches, shutters, and warm interior styling add charm, but the exterior setting is an ordinary urban street and there is no visible sea view. It feels like a practical coastal home with moderate dream appeal rather than a standout Italian escape.
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.
- No sea view is visible despite the property being near the coast.
- Some utility/bathroom areas appear unfinished or in need of updating.
- The building and surroundings are ordinary urban rather than distinctly historic or scenic.
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 55/100Location sits on the Tyrrhenian coast with a major commercial port and cruise/ferry terminals serving routes to Sardinia, Sicily and other islands. The town contains a naval base and active harbour infrastructure; ship traffic and port facilities dominate parts of the shoreline. The national rail line runs through town with direct connections to Rome; regional trains provide the main public link to the capital. The immediate coast includes small beaches and rocky stretches and neighbouring seaside towns such as Santa Marinella and Santa Severa on the same coastal strip. Inland within the 15 km radius are low hills and agricultural land typical of northern Lazio (olive groves and arable fields). The nearest major airport is Rome Fiumicino (served by road and rail, about an hour by car from the area).
