At €69,000 (€862/m²), the €88,000 renovation estimate brings the effective cost to about €1,962/m², far above the €661/m² local benchmark. The historic-center setting and 4 km distance from the sea add appeal, but its prior warehouse use and stated residential potential require careful legal and habitability verification.
More on the house and the area
The vaulted brick ceilings, terracotta floors, exposed arches, fireplace and old wine barrel give this compact historic property genuine character. However, it is a former warehouse packed with stored items and explicitly requires complete renovation, so it is an atmospheric project rather than a livable dream home today.
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€32,000 – €47,000
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; currently presented as a cluttered former storage space rather than a ready home.
- Bathroom is very basic and the photos do not establish a finished kitchen or comfortable bedroom setup.
- Central historic access may mean limited vehicle access and renovation constraints.
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 66/100Coastal plain on the Tyrrhenian Sea with sandy beaches and a stretch of seaside pine plantations around Marina di Montalto. The area includes a significant coastal industrial/energy complex (large thermoelectric power station and related infrastructure; a planned nuclear project was never completed). The hinterland is low-lying agricultural reclamation land used for arable crops and horticulture. The Etruscan necropolis and museum at Tarquinia (part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing “Etruscan necropolises of Cerveteri and Tarquinia”) lie roughly 10–12 km to the south. No mountains or ski lifts are within the immediate 15 km radius; coastal landscape is the dominant feature. Nearest town with regular rail connections and a wider range of services is Tarquinia; Viterbo and Civitavecchia are the larger urban centres at greater distance.
