See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €97,000 for 88 m², plus an estimated €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €1,802/m²—roughly 3.6 times the local comparison level of €497/m². The house needs renovation; the listing does not state its construction year or provide enough detail to justify this premium, despite the garden, balcony and adjacent storage building.
More on the house and the area
A solid two-level country house with rolling hill views, a garden, covered porch, balcony, and generous surrounding land. The lived-in interior has a working-looking kitchen, fireplace, tiled floors, and several usable rooms, but the property needs meaningful renovation and the adjacent outbuilding is in poor condition.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €31,000
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 main house is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with unfinished brickwork and open upper-floor windows.
- The adjoining approximately 90 sqm outbuilding appears substantially deteriorated and may require major work.
- Energy class G and only one existing bathroom reduce immediate practicality.
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 57/100The cluster is in the Sacco valley with the Ernici mountains close to the north and east. The Sacco river runs through the area. Within about 15 km are the hill towns of Veroli, Alatri and Ferentino, each with substantial historic centres; Alatri is known for its cyclopean polygonal walls and acropolis, and Ferentino also preserves major stretches of polygonal walls. Frosinone is the nearest town of size and has the full set of provincial services, shops and rail connections on the Rome-Cassino line. This part of Ciociaria is known for olive groves, hill towns and a mixed valley-and-foothill landscape.
