What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 146 sqm, the ask is just €411/sqm; assuming habitable condition from the residential layout and complete description, the effective cost is about €611/sqm including ~€200/sqm refresh, still below the €733/sqm baseline. Lake-view position near Bolsena, detached house features, and 25 photos support this as a strong buy.
More on the house and the area
The real wow here is the panoramic Lake Bolsena view from the upper floors and terrace, plus the detached house form with garden space at a very low price. It looks like a genuine, usable house rather than a shell, but the interiors are dated and there is clear damp and ceiling deterioration, so this is a livable fixer rather than an instant dream home.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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.
- Interior needs significant updating and repair
- Visible damp/water damage in several rooms
- Only one bathroom shown
- Roadside setting with overhead wires reduces romance
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.
