At €89,000 (€1,534/m²), this seaside villa is priced far above comparable local stock at about €585/m²; even allowing for its private courtyard, terrace and 1 km distance from the sea, the premium is substantial. The listing does not say whether the property is renovated or disclose energy/building details, so a modest €200/m² allowance is included.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable small house with clean tiled interiors, two bedrooms and a private gated court. Its suburban setting, plain architecture, weathered facade and unfinished-looking kitchen keep it well below dream-home territory, though it should be a manageable refresh rather than a ruin.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Interior is clean and floored but appears vacant, with kitchen fittings/appliances not installed.
- Private court is sizeable but currently dry and neglected rather than landscaped.
- Exterior shows weathering, damp staining and security bars; the bathroom is described but not clearly shown in the photos.
- No sea view or distinctive historic character is visible despite the property being about 1 km from the coast.
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 41/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Pomezia on the Roman coastal plain, with low flat ground between the Tyrrhenian coast and the Alban Hills. The Tyrrhenian coast is nearby, with the long beach system of Torvaianica on this stretch. The Riserva Naturale di Decima-Malafede lies inland to the north-west of the Alban Hills side of this area, and the edge of the Parco Regionale dei Castelli Romani is farther inland around the volcanic hills. Rome is the nearest large city and provides the full range of services, major transport links and cultural institutions. The area is known for postwar planned urban growth, industry and logistics, and for the seaside strip at Torvaianica.
