What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable 80sqm villa (1980) at €1,125/m2 vs regional median €583/m2, nearly 2x baseline. Includes 1 hectare of land which adds value and partly justifies premium, but per-m2 on the building is still high. Fully serviced (municipal water/sewer, electric, LPG autonomous heating + wood fireplace) and move-in ready, so low renovation need (~€250/m2 cosmetic). Energy class G is poor. Fresh listing (0 days). The land bundle and habitable condition prevent a trap rating, but priced well above area norms.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable country house: single-level, furnished, with kitchen, bathroom, heating and solid overall condition. The best wow comes from the private hectare of land and the open green mountain setting near Lake Turano, though the house itself is simple 1980s and visually modest rather than romantic or historic. It feels livable now, with scope to become much more attractive through straightforward refreshment.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Interior is habitable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Exterior and grounds feel plain rather than picturesque or character-rich.
- Some views are partially screened by trees and overhead wires affect the 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 61/100The cluster lies in the Sabina hills, with low Apennine relief and a landscape of olive groves, wooded ridges and small valleys. The area is close to the middle course of the Tiber basin, and daily life is shaped more by hill country than by any large plain. Monte Navegna and Monte Cervia and the Monti Sabini are the main mountain massifs in the wider immediate area, with the Monti Lucretili not far to the south-west. The Riserva Naturale Monte Navegna e Monte Cervia is within reach of this part of eastern Sabina. Rieti is the nearest town of size, with full services and a historic centre. The area is known for Sabina olive oil, including the Sabina DOP production zone.
