At €35,000 (€246/m²), even allowing about €200/m² for habitable-property updating, the effective cost is roughly €446/m²—about 25% below the local comparison level. The independent historic-center townhouse has 142 m², three bedrooms, two bathrooms, balconies, and extensive photo coverage, making this a strong candidate.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, habitable 1900 townhouse with a warm lived-in interior, working kitchen, two fireplaces, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, balconies, and an atmospheric historic-center setting. The façade is tired rather than postcard-perfect, but 142 sqm for €35,000 makes this a highly compelling real-home bargain rather than a renovation shell.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 exterior shows significant aging, moisture staining, and peeling render.
- The narrow historic-center setting may limit car access and parking.
- Heating appears to rely heavily on fireplaces/wood; energy performance is not documented.
- Bathroom and kitchen are functional but dated and compact.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the Monti Sabatini, a volcanic hill area with broad wooded slopes and tufa ground. Lake Bracciano lies within this radius on the southeast side, and Lake Vico is just beyond it to the northwest. Much of the surrounding countryside is oak and chestnut woodland with farmed clearings, and the area is known for hazelnut cultivation. Sutri is the nearest historic town of note, with an old centre and the Roman amphitheatre cut into the tufa. The Palazzo Giustiniani Odescalchi at Bassano Romano is a local historic landmark.
