This is explicitly an auction listing ("asta immobiliare"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. The description also contradicts the 'Habitable' label: only the smaller unit is finished, the larger portion is unfinished/rustic with expired permits and sanable abuses, implying heavy additional work and legal risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a ruin: the finished portion has a living room with fireplace, kitchen, bedroom and bathrooms, and the villa sits in a green garden setting. The wow comes more from the size-for-price bargain and detached-house feel than from beauty or views, and the unfinished secondary portion plus legal/regularization issues keep it out of the dream-home band.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€37,000 – €65,000
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.
- Part of the property is only unfinished/rustico and not completed.
- There are sanabili building abuses and an expired permit mentioned.
- Interiors look dated and some ancillary spaces are dark/utility-grade.
- Exterior and garden are pleasant but not especially scenic or distinctive.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Viterbo, so the setting is an urban edge rather than open countryside. The Cimini Mountains rise just south-east of the city. Lake Bolsena lies to the north-west, with the volcanic Lake Vico in the Cimini range closer to the south-east. The area is part of the Tuscia volcanic plateau, with tuff landscapes, cultivated hills, hazelnut groves and thermal waters. Viterbo itself is the nearest town of size and has a large medieval centre, the Papal Palace and thermal baths. The city is known for its medieval quarter and for the Macchina di Santa Rosa, listed by UNESCO as intangible heritage.
