In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €20,000 purchase price is very low at €200/m², but renovating 100 m² at roughly €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €900/m², above the Lazio townhouse benchmark of €594/m². Its historic-center location, independent entrance, cellar and grotta add appeal, but the renovation burden limits the deal value.
More on the house and the area
A genuine 100 sqm historic townhouse with a dramatic valley view from the balconies, a substantial stone fireplace, traditional furniture, and a usable kitchen. It is roofed, floored, furnished, and broadly livable, but the dated rooms, damaged bathroom, and aging exterior make this a renovation project rather than a move-in dream home.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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 68/100The Sabine hills surround Scandriglia, with wooded ridges and olive-growing slopes typical of this part of the province. The area lies close to the Turano basin and within about 15 km the main named natural feature is the Monte Navegna e Monte Cervia Regional Nature Reserve, which covers part of the nearby uplands above the Turano valley. Rieti is the nearest provincial town of size, with the usual administrative services and a substantial historic centre. This part of Sabina is known for olive oil and hill villages.
