At €86,700 (€1,275/m²), estimated effective cost is about €1,475/m² after modest habitable-home costs, well above the €661/m² local benchmark. Frascati adds some location value, but the listing does not state a bathroom and the premium remains substantial.
More on the house and the area
A bright, fully renovated apartment with attractive contemporary interiors, quality flooring, fitted kitchen, heating, and a finished bathroom. It looks genuinely move-in ready, but the generic design and enclosed urban setting lack the views, outdoor space, or historic character that would make it a standout Italian 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€5,000 – €7,000
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 apartment appears fully renovated and habitable, but the surrounding urban outlook is dense and visually unremarkable.
- No private garden, terrace, or notable Italian historic character is shown.
- The facts list zero bathrooms despite the gallery showing a finished bathroom; verify the official specifications.
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 34/100This is in the eastern outer built-up area of Rome, between the Aniene valley and the lower slopes of the Monti Prenestini further east. The Aniene River runs through this side of the city. Within about 15 km there is the Riserva Naturale della Valle dell’Aniene, a protected river corridor inside the metropolitan area. Tivoli is the nearest historic town of note, with Villa Adriana and Villa d’Este, both UNESCO sites, but they are outside the immediate urban landscape. Rome itself has every city service and major transport connection, but here the setting is primarily suburban and peri-urban rather than a distinct rural or scenic landscape.
