What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €400/m², the €76,000 asking price looks low, but the 190 m² villa is only a raw shell requiring substantial finishing: estimated effective cost is about €1,100/m² versus a €586/m² Lazio villa baseline. Panoramic setting, 4,000 m² of land and proximity to Montefiascone add value, but the listing lacks basic room and bathroom data.
More on the house and the area
The panoramic Lazio setting, expansive views, and mature olive-covered land give this property real lifestyle appeal. However, the villa is only a roofed structural shell, so it is a major renovation project rather than a usable home today.
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€38,000 – €67,000
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 property is an unfinished shell with bare floors, exposed services, and no visible kitchen or bathrooms.
- Substantial finishing work is required before it can be occupied, including utilities, plumbing, heating, windows/doors, and interior finishes.
- The 4,000 sqm olive-covered land and panoramic setting are attractive, but maintenance and access should be verified.
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.
