Estimated renovation ~€700/m² → renovation ≈€91,000; effective price ≈€159,000 or ≈€1,223/m², about double the regional baseline of €600/m², so the post-renovation value appears weak. Listing has SCIA in sanatoria approved and 11 photos, but the high effective €/m² pushes this into an overpriced pick.
More on the house and the area
Original patterned floors, high ceilings and a large fireplace give this townhouse genuine character, plus a covered terrace/balcony and a location about 8 km from the sea. The house is structurally intact and already has a SCIA in sanatoria, but it needs a careful refurbishment (wet/damp spots, old bathrooms/kitchen and terrace/roof work). Excellent value for someone wanting a character home to modernise.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Visible damp and peeling plaster in places – some moisture remediation likely needed
- Bathrooms, kitchen and finishes are dated and require full renovation
- Outdoor/roofed terrace area looks makeshift and may need structural repair or replacement
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 61/100The cluster lies in the lower Garigliano area, with the Aurunci Mountains rising inland to the north-east. The Garigliano river and its plain are the main landscape feature nearby, and the Tyrrhenian coast around Minturno and Scauri is close by. The Parco Naturale dei Monti Aurunci begins inland and shapes the hill country behind the coastal plain. The nearest town of size is Formia, which has full services, a port and rail connections; Cassino is the other main service centre inland. Minturno has the Roman archaeological area by the Garigliano, and the coast at Scauri is a local beach area. This part of southern Lazio is known for mixed citrus and vegetable cultivation on the plain and for the transition from coastal lowland to the first Aurunci slopes.
