See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction, which makes it unsuitable for this catalog regardless of the €54,370 asking price. Although advertised as renovated, the description says it was never refurbished, has outdated systems, and is in insufficient condition; estimated renovation cost is about €700/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial independent 157 m² house with balconies, a garage, small garden, working kitchen and bathrooms, so it is a real home rather than a shell. However, the dated interiors and visibly cluttered basement, together with the stated insufficient conservation condition, point to meaningful renovation rather than simple cosmetic refreshing. The 55% discount is attractive, but the property is practical and spacious rather than truly dreamy.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €55,000
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.
- Overall condition is explicitly described as insufficient, with outdated finishes, original windows and old heating systems.
- The property is being sold at auction, so legal, occupancy and procedural checks are essential.
- No notable scenic view or distinctive historic character is shown.
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 76/100The cluster is in the volcanic uplands on the Lazio-Tuscany-Umbria border, with Monte Rufeno Nature Reserve immediately east of Acquapendente. Lake Bolsena lies within about 15 km to the south, with the volcanic basin and its lakeshore towns forming the main water feature of the area. The Paglia valley and the first hills of southern Tuscany are close by, and Mount Amiata is visible in the wider horizon but outside the immediate radius. Acquapendente itself is a small service town with a historic centre on the Via Francigena and the Romanesque basilica of the Santo Sepolcro. Within the same radius are hill towns including San Lorenzo Nuovo above the lake and Torre Alfina, known for its castle and the Bosco del Sasseto beside it. The area is known for volcanic landscapes, tuff villages, chestnut woods and the Francigena route.
