What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €590/m² asking price is essentially equal to the Lazio villa baseline of €586/m², so there is no meaningful market discount before renovation. The description sounds functional, but condition, construction year and energy class are missing; allowing roughly €300/m² for unknown updates brings the effective cost to about €890/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a real, furnished and apparently livable 100 sqm house, not a renovation shell, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a terrace, and a remarkably wide mountain-and-valley panorama. The interiors are ordinary and old-fashioned rather than beautiful, but the strong setting and €59,000 price create genuine dream-home appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€10,000 – €17,000
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 are fully usable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic renovation.
- Exterior walls and paving show weathering, cracking, and maintenance needs.
- Outdoor space appears modest and access/parking may be tight on the hillside.
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.
