What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 for 150 sqm, the ask is just €393/sqm versus a €620/sqm local baseline, but the house is described as grezzo/unfinished, so I estimate about €900/sqm to complete it. That puts the effective cost around €1,293/sqm, well above baseline; the size, garage/cellar and panoramic setting support some value, but this is more a renovation project than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a large detached house with a decent roofline and good volume, and at €59k for 150 sqm it has clear bargain appeal. But the photos show a bare shell with open window voids and unfinished interiors, so it is a renovation project rather than a home you could move into. The promised panoramic countryside setting may help in person, yet the current visual wow is limited from the gallery.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 62/100The area sits in the Cimini foothills and the volcanic countryside of southern Tuscia. Lake Vico lies within reach to the east, inside the Cimini volcanic complex, and Monte Cimino rises above the surrounding hills. The Riserva Naturale Lago di Vico is the main protected area nearby. Viterbo is the nearest city of size, with a substantial medieval centre and services; Civita Castellana is also close as a local service town. This part of Tuscia is known for hazelnut groves, tuff villages and the Etruscan landscape of ravines and plateaus.
