What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Using a renovation estimate of €700/m² yields a total outlay of €137,000 and an effective price of about €1,957/m² versus the local baseline of €600/m², so the fully renovated outcome is priced well above market. The ad leans on approved-project renders rather than an existing finished home, which weakens the value case at this price.
More on the house and the area
Great fenced, flat plot planted with mature olive trees and an old stone outbuilding, plus an approved project for a 70 m² single‑level villa with pool. Very attractive as a build‑your‑dream opportunity, but not move‑in ready — you’re buying land + project rather than a finished home.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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.

- The first photos are CGI renders — the finished villa and pool are proposed, not built.
- Current state is a rustic outbuilding and olive-grove land; the property needs full renovation / construction per the approved project.
- Buyer should confirm utilities, completion costs and any remaining permits before purchase.
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.
