What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 plus modest upkeep, the effective cost is about €1,322/m²—roughly double the local €661/m² benchmark, with no sea or major tourist-location premium. The home is described as being in good condition, but it is rented until 2030 for only €4,800 per year, so it is not suitable for immediate occupation and offers a modest gross yield.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, move-in-ready two-bedroom village home with a usable kitchen, bathroom, enclosed entrance court and comfortable everyday interiors. Its strongest appeal is the sunny elevated outlook over rooftops, olive trees and the surrounding countryside, although the house itself is more practical than spectacular. The long existing tenancy makes it primarily an investment today rather than an immediate dream home.
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.
- Currently rented until 2030, so it is not available for immediate personal use.
- Energy class G implies likely high heating costs and future efficiency work.
- The interiors are functional and well maintained but visually modest, with limited distinctive historic character.
- No private garden is shown; the home is in a compact village setting.
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 68/100The area sits in the Sabina hills, with olive-covered slopes and low ridges above the Tiber valley. The Tiber runs to the west within this radius. Monte Soratte stands nearby as an isolated limestone ridge above the plain. The Riserva Naturale Nazzano Tevere-Farfa lies in the Tiber valley, and the lower Farfa valley is part of the local landscape. Farfa Abbey is in the area near Fara in Sabina. The nearest larger centre is Rieti for provincial services, while the Rome urban area is the main external pull for work and transport. The area is known for Sabina olive oil.
