This is explicitly an auction property (“asta immobiliare”), which is a veto red flag regardless of the €162/m² asking figure. The description lists multiple units, deposits and commercial space rather than clearly matching a 360 m² villa, with 0 bathrooms recorded.
More on the house and the area
This is a large historic village property with a handsome stone outbuilding, traditional doors, patterned floors, and a genuinely striking painted ceiling in one room. It appears structurally roofed and broadly habitable rather than a ruin, but the clutter, deteriorated finishes, and unclear multi-unit auction configuration make it a renovation project rather than a ready dream home.
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€24,000 – €40,000
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 property is an auction sale comprising multiple units, deposits, and residential spaces, so the layout and ownership situation need careful legal review.
- Interiors are heavily cluttered and show peeling ceilings, damp or water-related staining, and significant deferred maintenance.
- No clear kitchen is shown, and the home would require substantial clearing, updating, and likely renovation before comfortable full-time living.
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 62/100The cluster is on the southern Lepini hills, with limestone slopes and views over the Pontine plain. The Amaseno river valley lies nearby inland, and the Tyrrhenian coast around Terracina is about 15 km away. Circeo National Park begins farther west on the coastal side, outside the immediate radius. The nearest larger town is Terracina, which has a substantial seafront town, services, and the Roman Temple of Jupiter Anxur above the coast. The area is known for olive groves on the hills and for the transition from the Lepini uplands to the reclaimed Pontine plain.
