What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €500/m² asking price is below the local €595/m² benchmark, and the central historic setting adds some appeal. However, the house is only partially renovated; allowing roughly €350/m² for remaining work brings the effective cost well above the benchmark, while the listing does not state its energy class or construction year.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely characterful historic townhouse with exposed beams, traditional doors, tiled floors, a cozy lived-in interior, and a superb panoramic view over Alatri and the surrounding hills. It is a real furnished home with kitchen, bedrooms, and usable living spaces—not an empty shell—but it needs further renovation, especially in the secondary bathroom and rougher areas.
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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Partially renovated, with visible deterioration and unfinished-looking areas.
- One bathroom appears dated and in poor condition; confirm whether both bathrooms are fully usable.
- The ivy-covered exterior and adjacent older structures warrant checks on roof, masonry, damp, and maintenance.
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.
