At €60,000 for 80 sqm, the ask is about €750/sqm; with only light post-renovation upkeep (~€50/sqm from the 2009 roof/floor/window works and 'documents in order'), effective cost is ~€800/sqm. That is above the Lazio townhouse baseline of €625/sqm, so this looks more like a priced-for-features historic-center home than a bargain, though the renovated condition, garage/heating, and view add some value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, renovated stone house with real old-world character: exposed stone, dark beams, rustic finishes and an antique fireplace. The west-facing balcony and windows open to a broad green valley view, which adds real dream value. It is small and fairly simple inside, but clearly usable now rather than a restoration project.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €50/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€1,000 – €2,000
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.
- Only one bedroom and one bath
- Compact 80 sqm layout
- No private garden/terrace; just a small balcony
- Some interiors are simple rather than luxurious

The area around
Location score 68/100The Cimini and Volsini volcanic hill country lies in the wider area, and the Tiber valley runs nearby. Bomarzo is known for the Sacro Bosco, the sixteenth-century garden with carved stone monuments just outside the town. The gorge landscape of this part of northern Lazio includes tuff ravines and wooded slopes. Viterbo is the nearest city of size, with a large medieval centre and services.
