What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €68,000 (€439/m²), this 155 m² three-level home is about 29% below the local €617/m² benchmark, with a garden, terrace, cellar and additional 15 m² casaletto. The listing does not state the condition, construction year or energy class, so allow roughly €200/m² for ordinary updating rather than assuming it is fully renovated.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
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 immediate setting is an urban edge rather than open countryside. The Cimini Mountains rise south-east of the city. Lake Bolsena lies within about 15 km to the north-west from the outskirts, and the Lago di Vico volcanic basin is just beyond that range to the south-east. The area is part of the volcanic Tuscia landscape, with tuff plateaus, ravines and cultivated hills. Viterbo itself is the nearest town of size and has a large medieval centre, the Papal Palace and major services. The area is known for thermal waters and for the historic landscape of Tuscia.
