What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €29,000 asking price is €362/m² versus a Lazio townhouse baseline of €598/m², but the description simultaneously claims immediate habitability and lists renovation needs including systems and floors. At an estimated €700/m² renovation cost, the effective cost is about €1,087/m²; the inland Borgorose location limits upside.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, furnished two-bedroom home with a working kitchen, two bathrooms, fireplace, tiled floors, wood ceilings, and attractive brick arches—not an empty shell. Its strongest appeal is the green mountain setting, mature garden, and panoramic rural outlook, while the interiors are comfortable but dated rather than stylish.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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 is immediately usable but appears dated and may need renovation to systems, finishes, and some exterior areas.
- The setting is rural and the property sits beside a local road with visible utility wires.
- No energy rating or construction details are provided.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the central Apennine foothills of eastern Lazio. The Salto river valley and the artificial reservoir Lago del Salto lie within about 15 km and supply a large inland lake used locally for fishing and boating. Terrain in the 15 km radius is a mix of wooded hills, small agricultural valleys and streams feeding the Salto. There are no ski lifts inside 15 km; nearest alpine-style ski areas (Campo Felice / Piana di Navelli) are appreciably farther by car. The nearest city of size is Rieti (provincial capital) at roughly 35–45 km, which provides regional services, shops and a railway connection; L'Aquila is further to the northeast. There is no national-park or UNESCO designation centred inside the 15 km radius. The area’s economy is rural: small-scale farming, forestry and reservoir-related recreation are the main local uses of the landscape.
