What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €45,000 asking price is €500/m², about 16% below comparable local homes, and the central historic setting is a modest positive. However, estimated renovation costs of about €63,000 bring the effective cost to roughly €1,200/m²—around twice the local benchmark—so the discount is largely consumed by the work needed.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable historic townhouse with exposed beams, traditional shutters, an atmospheric furnished interior, and an excellent mountain-and-town panorama. The main living areas, kitchen, bedroom, and one bathroom appear functional, but the property is unevenly maintained and includes rough rooms that need meaningful renovation rather than just decoration.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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 home is only partially renovated, with visibly worn secondary rooms and a very dated second bathroom.
- The overgrown exterior courtyard and exposed exterior areas may require substantial clearing and repair.
- Heating is listed, but energy performance and the condition of the roof, wiring, and plumbing are not shown.
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 Ernici foothills, with the Monti Ernici close by to the east and south. The Sacco valley lies below this hill area, and much of the immediate landscape is a mix of wooded slopes, olive groves and hill villages. Fumone itself is known for its hilltop historic centre and castle, and nearby Alatri has substantial cyclopean walls and a larger range of services. This part of inland Ciociaria is known for fortified hill towns and rural upland scenery.
