What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is a rustico da ristrutturare, so I applied a full restoration cost of about €1,100/m²; effective cost is roughly €189,000 total, or about €2,100/m² including works. That is far above the Lazio farmhouse baseline of €693/m², so despite the 3,800 m² land and quiet setting, this looks weak on price.
More on the house and the area
The setting is quiet and green, with a useful plot of land around the house, which gives it some lifestyle appeal. But the building itself is still a bare rustico shell with unfinished interiors and no habitable spaces shown. This is a project rather than a ready home, so the wow is limited despite the countryside setting.
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€36,000 – €53,000
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.
- Raw shell interior with no finished rooms, kitchen, or bathroom
- Needs full renovation before it is realistically livable
- Exterior terraces/roof details look unfinished and weathered
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 61/100The area lies on the eastern side of the Roman Castelli and the Agro Romano, with low volcanic hills and cultivated countryside. The Alban Hills are within this radius, and the Castelli Romani Regional Park begins to the west around Monte Compatri, Rocca Priora and Frascati. The landscape here is tied to the old volcanic system of the Colli Albani, with wooded slopes on the higher ground and vineyards and olive groves on the lower ground. Rome is the nearest large city and provides all major services; Frascati is the nearest notable town of size nearby, known for its historic villas and wine. The area is known for Castelli Romani wine and food outings from Rome.
