What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €20,000 (€333/m²), the price is well below the local €617/m² reference, but the listing does not say whether the house is habitable or needs renovation. Using a €700/m² renovation estimate gives an effective cost of about €1,033/m²; the historic-center setting and garden add appeal.
More on the house and the area
A characterful historic-house setting with stone walls, a traditional green door, hillside village architecture, and sweeping views over the wooded Lazio countryside. The roof appears intact and the property has a real address and bathroom count, but the rough exterior, overgrown terraces, and lack of interior photos make this a renovation gamble rather than a proven move-in home.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- Interior condition and actual livability are not shown.
- Exterior masonry and finishes look substantially aged and may require renovation.
- Access is through steep historic lanes and stairs, although free parking appears immediately nearby.
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 61/100The cluster is in the Monti Prenestini foothill belt, with the Sacco valley opening to the east and south. The Parco Naturale Regionale dei Monti Simbruini lies to the northeast, beyond the immediate hills. Genazzano has a substantial historic centre and the Colonna castle complex, and Palestrina is the nearest larger town with services and the major sanctuary complex of Fortuna Primigenia. This part of eastern provincia di Roma is known for olive groves, hillside towns and the transition from the Roman campagna to the first Apennine relief.
