What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €69,000 asking price is €531/m², slightly below the Lazio baseline of €586/m², but the villa is explicitly unfinished (“allo stato grezzo”). At an estimated €1,100/m² renovation cost, effective cost is about €1,061/m² (€138,000 total), making it weak value despite the 600 m² garden and parking.
More on the house and the area
The single-level layout and generous 600 sqm garden offer real potential for a modern country home, with pleasant green surroundings. However, the actual property is an empty concrete shell with unfinished interiors and no demonstrated livability, so this is a major renovation project rather than a ready home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€51,000 – €76,000
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 villa is explicitly sold in a raw unfinished state, with bare walls, exposed wiring and no visible kitchen or bathrooms.
- The attractive finished exterior appears to be a rendering rather than the current condition.
- A substantial renovation budget and verification of utilities, permits and access will be needed.
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 58/100The cluster is in the Alban Hills and Prenestini area east of Rome, with volcanic and limestone hill country rather than a plain. The nearest named natural feature is the Monti Prenestini just to the east, with higher ground around Palestrina and Capranica Prenestina inside the local landscape. Rome is the nearest large city and shapes daily life with rail links, services and employment. Palestrina is the nearest historic town of note, with the sanctuary complex of Fortuna Primigenia and the archaeological museum in the Barberini Palace. The area is known for hill towns, vineyards and olive groves on the Rome hinterland.
