At €75,000 for 51 sqm, the ask is €1,471/sqm; with a full renovation estimate of about €1,100/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €2,571/sqm. That is far above the Lazio townhouse baseline of €625/sqm, so despite the private garden and attractive Tarquinia location near a UNESCO site and only 6 km from the sea, this looks expensive for a total-renovation project.
More on the house and the area
The private garden and the location near Tarquinia's Etruscan necropolis give it some appeal. But the house itself is a very plain 1980s structure with bare, unfinished interiors, visible moisture issues and no shown fitted kitchen or bathroom, so this feels more like a renovation project than a dream home today.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €30,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Completely to renovate; not currently a livable home.
- Interior is very basic/unfinished with visible damp and cracking.
- No kitchen or bathroom is shown, so habitability is uncertain.

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.
