What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
Judicial auction is a veto under the scoring rules, regardless of the attractive €341/m² asking price. At €200/m² estimated renovation, the effective cost is about €540/m² versus the Lazio villa baseline of €585/m².
More on the house and the area
A substantial, genuinely usable Lazio villa with a photogenic stone-and-plaster exterior, repeated arches, a gardened court, and a beautiful traditional fireplace. The interior appears lived-in and functional rather than renovated, with dated finishes and heavy furnishings, but this is a real home—not a shell—with generous space, bedrooms, bathrooms, storage, and a terrace.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Auction purchase requires careful legal and condition due diligence.
- Interiors are habitable but very dated, dark, and heavily furnished, so modernization would likely be worthwhile.
- The driveway/ramp needs redefining, and the listing does not show a clear surrounding view.
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 in the Sabina hills, with the Monti Sabini close by and the lower Tiber valley within the wider surrounding area. The Farfa river runs through this part of Sabina, and the Abbazia di Farfa is a few kilometres from Poggio Nativo. The nearest larger town is Rieti, which provides the main range of services for the province; Rome is farther away but relevant for commuting and rail connections from the Sabina area. This area is known for olive groves and Sabina olive oil.
