The listing is explicitly an auction ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and forces a trap rating. Even aside from that, at €85,500 for 97 sqm plus roughly €200/sqm habitable works, the effective cost is about €1,081/sqm, well above the €573/sqm baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a ruin: the rooms are finished, furnished and clearly habitable, with a small private garden, covered side passage and barbecue area. The wow factor is limited, though, because there are no views, little architectural character and the setting feels suburban and enclosed. At the price it has some bargain appeal, but it looks more practical than dreamy.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- Auction sale: documentation and occupancy/legal status need checking.
- Interiors look habitable but dated and somewhat cramped.
- Outdoor space is pleasant but enclosed and not especially scenic.
- Some listing details appear incomplete or inconsistent (e.g. bathroom count).
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 51/100This is on the coastal plain south of Rome, with the Tyrrhenian coast and the Riviera di Ulisse shoreline at Anzio and Nettuno within the local area. The coast here is low and sandy rather than cliffed, with long beaches and the port of Anzio. The area is tied to the coastal towns of Anzio and Nettuno, which have marinas, beaches, rail links to Rome, and the historic center and fortress area at Nettuno. The Anzio–Nettuno coast is known for the Allied landings of 1944 and for its fishing port.
