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 200 sqm villa listed at €87,000 (€435/sqm); adding a light habitable-home allowance of ~€200/sqm gives an effective €635/sqm, slightly above the Lazio villa baseline of €594/sqm. Historic-center setting, panoramic view and terrace support value, but the numbers suggest a solid rather than exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
The real selling point is the mountain-and-valley panorama from the historic village setting, which gives it genuine dream value. Inside it looks fully habitable with kitchen, bathrooms, radiators and substantial rooms, but the finishes are very dated and a refresh would be needed to make it feel special. For €87k and 200 sqm, it feels like a real house you could live in rather than a ruin-project.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and dark, so it needs cosmetic modernization.
- Historic-centre layout may mean limited parking/access.
- No truly stunning original details are shown beyond fireplaces and age.
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.
