What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 155 sqm, the asking price is €581/sqm, below the local baseline of €761/sqm. But the description clearly frames it as a custom-renovation opportunity, so using about €700/sqm works gives an effective cost near €1,281/sqm; central walkable location helps, but this is not a standout bargain after renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable town house rather than a shell, with generous rooms, a fireplace, long balcony and some old-school Italian character in the furniture and layout. It looks structurally intact and liveable now, but the finishes are tired, bathrooms and kitchen are dated, and there are signs of minor damp or ceiling wear. At this price for 155 sqm, the value helps, but the setting is practical rather than dreamy.
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€31,000 – €55,000
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 are dated and need significant cosmetic updating.
- Some visible ceiling/wall moisture staining or patching should be checked.
- Views are urban/street-level rather than scenic.
- Ground-floor spaces feel basic and may need rethinking for modern living.
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 58/100The Sabine hills begin around Montelibretti, with low ridges, olive groves and cultivated valleys. The Tiber valley lies nearby, and the Farfa river valley is within this part of the Sabina. The Lucretili Mountains are the nearest named range, rising to the east within about this radius, with the Monte Catillo and Monti Lucretili regional protected areas farther along the same belt. Palombara Sabina is the nearest historic town of note in this area, with a castle and a substantial old centre. The wider area is known for olive oil and for the Sabina countryside north-east of Rome.
