What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description says 'da ristrutturare', so I estimate about €1,100/m² renovation: effective cost is roughly €124,000 total, or €2,480/m² including works. That is far above the Lazio farmhouse baseline of €689/m² for similar sub-€100k stock; being 6 km from the sea helps a little, but not enough.
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€20,000 – €29,000
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.
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 39/100This is the Agro Pontino plain between Rome and the Lepini Hills, with low flat reclaimed farmland around the town and the Tyrrhenian coast a few kilometres west. The nearest coast is the stretch between Torvaianica, Lavinio and Anzio-Nettuno, with sandy beaches and dune remnants in places. The Parco Nazionale del Circeo lies farther south and does not fall inside the immediate landscape here. Anzio and Nettuno are the nearest larger coastal centres, with ports, services and railway links; Rome is the major city to the north for work and transport. Aprilia sits in a heavily settled road corridor with industry, logistics and dispersed modern development typical of the Pontine plain.
