What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €489/m², the €68,000 asking price is below the Lazio baseline of €613/m², but assuming a habitable-home allowance of €200/m², the effective cost rises to about €690/m². It is immediately habitable, has 139 m², a 300 m² private garden, pool, parking and 23 photos, supporting a solid but not exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable independent country house with characterful vaulted interiors, a fireplace, stone exterior details, private garden, and an unusually large rooftop terrace. The elevated views across the Lazio countryside toward the hill town are the standout feature, while the home appears solid and immediately habitable rather than a renovation shell.
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 – €16,000
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 and furnishings are dated and highly cluttered, so cosmetic refreshing would improve the home.
- The large rooftop terrace appears usable but may need ongoing waterproofing and maintenance checks.
- The garden is established but currently somewhat dry and informal.
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.
