The description contradicts the stated condition: this is not renovated but still under construction, so I treat it as needing completion at about €700/m². Effective cost is roughly €206,000 total, or €1,336/m², versus a low-stock baseline of €594/m²; lake view and 43 photos help, but at this price it looks weak rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
The big private plot and glimpses of Lake Bolsena give it genuine lifestyle appeal, with room for a lovely garden and outdoor living. But this is still an unfinished house rather than a ready home: roof and structure are there, yet interiors are raw and need substantial completion before it feels livable. The setting lifts it, while the current condition keeps it out of the dream-home tier.
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€30,000 – €54,000
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 still unfinished / under construction, not move-in ready.
- Exterior has limited charm and looks partly plain/rough rather than polished.
- Direct access from a road may reduce the peaceful feel.
- Lake view appears partial rather than fully open from the house/garden.
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 76/100Lake Bolsena is at the town, with the Volsini volcanic hills around the shore. Montefiascone is the nearest larger town and has a full set of everyday services; Viterbo is the main city in the province. The area is known for lake fishing, olive groves and vineyards, and for the old lakeside settlements around Bolsena. Bolsena has Etruscan remains and the lake is the dominant feature of daily life here.
