What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €367/m², the asking price is 37% below the Lazio baseline of €586/m², with a garden, terrace and 23 photos supporting a potentially attractive deal. However, condition and key technical details are missing; allowing €200/m² for moderate work brings the effective cost to about €567/m², close to the baseline.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, usable two-level villa with a generous portico, terrace, fireplace, stone-and-brick details, and extensive leafy grounds. It is not a polished dream home and needs cosmetic updating plus garden work, but the space, character, privacy, and €55,000 price make it a compelling live-in bargain.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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 home appears livable but dated, with visible plaster wear and aging finishes.
- The large, wooded grounds are quite overgrown and will require ongoing maintenance.
- The kitchen is not clearly shown in the gallery, so its condition and equipment should be verified.
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 53/100The area is in the Monte Soratte and Agro Veientano countryside on the north side of Rome, with low volcanic and tuff hills, wooded patches and farmed land. The Tiber valley is nearby, and the Veio Regional Park lies within reach to the south around the old Etruscan landscape between Formello, Sacrofano and the edge of Rome. The nearest larger town is Monterotondo, with full everyday services and a rail link toward Rome; Rome itself is the main urban centre for work and services. This part of northern Lazio is known for Etruscan sites, tuff-built historic centres and commuting settlements on the fringe of the capital.
