What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €450/m², the asking price is attractive, but assuming €200/m² for unspecified condition brings the effective cost to about €650/m² versus the Lazio baseline of €613/m². The central Poggio Mirteto location, independent access, garden and parking support the deal, while the missing condition and technical details limit confidence.
More on the house and the area
This independent house has a genuinely beautiful hillside setting, sweeping views over olive-covered Lazio countryside, a terrace, and an attractive old fireplace and stone cellar. The main dwelling is roofed, floored, heated, and has a bathroom, so it is a real home rather than a ruin, but it needs refurbishment and likely kitchen installation before comfortable full-time living.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 interiors are very dated, with peeling plaster, damp-looking walls, and substantial cosmetic renovation needed.
- The kitchen appears unfinished or absent, despite a tiled room with plumbing and a fireplace.
- A secondary rustic storage/cellar area is rough and currently not living space; access is via a narrow sloping lane.
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 70/100The cluster sits in the Sabina (Sabine Hills), a belt of low-to-mid altitude limestone hills north of Rome. The Tiber river valley (Valle del Tevere) lies to the west and shapes the local lowland. There is no national park within about 15 km. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Terminillo in the Reatini mountains, roughly 40–50 km by road. The immediate area is a patchwork of small medieval hill towns and agricultural villages; nearby settlements within 15 km include Magliano Sabina and Fara in Sabina, which provide local shops and municipal services. The territory is crossed by the historic Via Salaria and has a regional railway station (Poggio Mirteto Scalo) with regional train services toward Rome. The area is part of the Sabina olive-growing district and is associated with Sabina DOP extra-virgin olive oil production. Surrounding land use is mainly olive groves, arable fields and areas of woodland on the hills.
