What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €500/m², the asking price is below the Lazio baseline of €621/m², but the condition, room count and bathrooms are missing. Assuming a substantial renovation at about €700/m², the effective cost rises to roughly €1,200/m²; the property also includes storage areas rather than 200 m² of confirmed living space.
More on the house and the area
A substantial two-level country house with a lovely green mountain outlook, generous garden/land, and an established olive grove. The main living areas appear habitable, with tiled floors, traditional shutters, balconies, and a working roof, but the interiors are plain and dated rather than characterful. It feels like a real home with renovation potential, not a ruin or empty shell.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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 house looks solid and usable, but dated and likely needs modernization.
- The ground floor is described as storage/deposit space rather than finished living accommodation.
- Kitchen and bathroom condition or presence are not clearly shown in the photos.
- The roof appears intact but weathered; technical checks are advisable.
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 72/100The cluster sits in the Ernici foothills, with the Monti Ernici close by to the east and south. The Sacco valley lies below this hill area, and much of the immediate landscape is a mix of wooded slopes, olive groves and hill villages. Fumone itself is known for its hilltop historic centre and castle, and nearby Alatri has substantial cyclopean walls and a larger range of services. This part of inland Ciociaria is known for fortified hill towns and rural upland scenery.
