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
At €90,000 for 184 sqm, the ask is €489/sqm; assuming a habitable-condition refresh at about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €689/sqm, slightly above the Lazio townhouse baseline of €625/sqm. The strong historic-center setting, big terrace, garage, cellar/storage and 42 photos support the value, but only about 79 sqm appears to be actual living space while the rest is garage/magazzino/terrace, which tempers the deal.
More on the house and the area
The huge panoramic terrace is the real wow here, with lovely green hillside and borgo views in a historic village setting. Inside, this is a genuine livable home with a working kitchen, bathroom and fireplace, though the finishes are simple and somewhat dated rather than beautifully restored. For €90k, the amount of usable space, garage and outdoor living makes it very dreamable.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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 look habitable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large 184 sqm townhouse.
- The terrace is huge but quite bare and exposed, so it may need furnishing/shade works to feel special.
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.
