See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000, allowing roughly €18,000 for habitable-condition work produces an effective cost near €1,033/m², well above the €661/m² regional benchmark. The apartment has two bathrooms, heating and 28 photos, but the listing gives little detail and does not state the building year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, spacious habitable home with two bathrooms, working heating, solid floors, and appealing vintage tilework and chandeliers. It has some old-house character, but the setting is ordinary and urban, with no scenic view or standout exterior; expect cosmetic updating and a kitchen fit-out.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 kitchen appears unfinished, with no fitted cabinets or appliances visible.
- Interiors are clean and usable but strongly dated, especially the patterned floors and fixtures.
- No meaningful view or substantial private garden is shown; the outdoor space is a narrow urban courtyard.
- The exterior and roof covering look tired and may need maintenance.
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 61/100The area is in the Maremma Laziale, with low tuff hills, open fields and olive groves. The Marta river valley is nearby, and Lake Bolsena is farther inland beyond the 15 km radius. Tuscania itself has a substantial medieval centre with the Romanesque churches of San Pietro and Santa Maria Maggiore on the edge of town. Tarquinia is the nearest larger historic centre of note, with the UNESCO Etruscan necropolises shared with Cerveteri, but that lies outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The Tyrrhenian coast is relatively close, with the beach and nature reserve area of Monte Romano Marina and the Montalto di Castro coast beyond the radius. The area is known for Etruscan archaeology, olive oil and broad agricultural countryside on volcanic soils.
