This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even aside from condition being only habitable, the legal/transaction risk dominates the assessment.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home rather than a renovation shell: solid structure, finished floors, bathroom, heating, terrace and a small green setting with mature trees. The downside is that the beauty factor is modest—more suburban 1980s practical villa than Italian dream house, with limited views and little historic character. At €90k near the sea it has some appeal as a livable bargain, but not much true wow.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Exterior and interiors are functional but visually quite ordinary.
- Photos suggest a lived-in home, but some spaces feel dark and a bit cluttered.
- Urban/building irregularities are explicitly mentioned and need regularization.
- Auction sale adds procedural risk versus a normal purchase.
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.
