What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €615/m², the asking price is close to the Lazio townhouse baseline of €600/m²; assuming habitable condition, estimated effective cost is about €815/m² after €200/m² renovation. Garden, garage and terraces add value, but the remote hamlet location and missing condition, age and energy data limit confidence.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable village house with a working-looking kitchen, finished floors, a fireplace, generous covered terraces, and attractive traditional details. The surrounding Sabina hills, olive groves, and valley views add real appeal, while the separate garden/land gives it a valuable outdoor dimension. It is more charming and usable than polished, with modernization likely needed rather than a full renovation.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Interiors are well maintained but quite dated and likely need cosmetic modernization.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a 130 sqm home.
- The 450 sqm plot is across the road rather than directly adjoining the house.
- The listing does not provide clear information on utilities, heating, or structural condition.
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 is known for olive cultivation and small hill villages.
