What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€458/m²), the 120 m² farmhouse needs renovation, estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €139,000 (€1,158/m²) versus the Lazio farmhouse baseline of €659/m². The 7,000 m² of surrounding land, stables, and parking add value, but the renovation burden makes this only a fair deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuine old farmhouse with rustic masonry, balconies, substantial surrounding land and a pleasant rural setting with distant hills. However, it is visibly tired and marketed for renovation, with no interiors shown, so it feels more like a substantial project than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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 farmhouse is explicitly sold for renovation and the exterior shows significant aging, overgrowth and deteriorated outbuildings.
- No interior photos are provided, so the condition of the floors, bathroom, kitchen, utilities and roof cannot be verified.
- The large surrounding land may bring substantial maintenance and possible access or planning considerations.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Liri valley below the Monti Ausoni and with the Monti Aurunci and the lower Apennine ridges also close by. The river Gari rises at nearby Cassino and the Rapido-Gari plain runs through this part of the valley. Montecassino is a few kilometres away above Cassino, with the abbey and the wartime landscape that dominate the area. Cassino is the nearest town of size, with full services, rail connections and the university. This part of southern Lazio is known for the Abbey of Montecassino, St Thomas Aquinas at Aquino, and a broad agricultural valley framed by mountain slopes.
