At €68,000 (€422/m²), the low asking price is outweighed by the stated renovation need: estimated all-in cost is about €180,700, or €1,122/m², versus roughly €617/m² for comparable Lazio country houses. The independent house, garden, parking and 18 photos are positives, but the renovation burden makes this weak value.
More on the house and the area
The standout feature is the sweeping mountain-and-valley view from the house and generous green grounds, with a sunny covered porch and mature fruit trees. The main dwelling is a real, functioning two-level home with kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms, but it is very dated and needs meaningful refurbishment rather than just cosmetic updating. The adjoining sheds add rural character and useful potential, though they are clearly project spaces.
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€32,000 – €57,000
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.
- The main house is usable but clearly dated, with damp/peeling finishes and basic fixtures.
- The adjacent farm buildings are rough, partly unfinished agricultural structures and would need substantial work.
- The listing explicitly describes the property as requiring renovation; verify roof, utilities, heating, and legal status.
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 72/100The cluster sits in the Comino valley under the Monti della Meta, part of the central Apennines. The Melfa river runs through this part of the valley. 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.
