The €68,000 asking price is exceptionally low at €18/m² versus €657/m² for comparable Lazio homes, but the stated 3,744 m² appears inconsistent with a three-room farmhouse and likely includes land or ancillary areas. The house needs renovation, and the listing does not clarify the true residential floor area, building status, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
The sweeping valley and mountain views, generous green land, mature fruit trees and traditional tiled interiors give this farmhouse real Italian countryside appeal. The main two-level house is roofed and functioning, with kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms, but it is dated and needs substantial cosmetic and systems renovation; the attached outbuildings are project spaces rather than ready-to-live accommodation.
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€741,000 – €1,314,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The main house is usable but clearly needs renovation, including damp/plaster repairs and general modernization.
- The adjoining farm buildings are very rough and partly agricultural rather than habitable.
- Utilities, roof condition, heating, access and legal status of the extensions should be verified.
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

The Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise begins nearby, with protected mountain terrain around Val di Comino and access toward Pescasseroli and Forca d'Acero. The nearest ski area is Pescasseroli, roughly an hour’s drive depending on road conditions. Sora is the nearest larger town in daily use, with rail links, hospitals and the main services for this part of southern Lazio. Alvito is known locally for its hilltop historic centre and the Castello Cantelmo above the valley.
