Property is listed as cadastral category C/6 (magazzino/storage) so it cannot legally be used as a dwelling; with an estimated €700/m² overhaul the effective price would be about €1,057/m² (€74,000 total), well above the regional baseline of €625/m².
More on the house and the area
Attractive old stone façade gives real character but the building is essentially an unfinished shell. The roof looks intact, but the interior is completely to be finished and it’s currently classed C/6, so expect a full rebuild, utility connections and a change-of-use process. Very cheap bargain, but not a move-in home and the roadside location limits its appeal as a dreamy lived-in house.
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.

- Full renovation required — interior appears a shell with no visible windows or finishes
- Property is classed C/6 (storage/garage) so a legal change of use would be needed to live there
- Likely no utilities connected and limited natural light due to small openings
- Fronts onto a main road/bus stop — traffic noise and little privacy
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 43/100The cluster is in the eastern Roman urban belt, on the plain and low hills between the Aniene valley and the first relief of the Monti Tiburtini and Lucretili. The Aniene river runs nearby. Tivoli is the nearest major historic town and has the Villa Adriana and Villa d’Este, both UNESCO sites, as well as the waterfalls of Villa Gregoriana. The Monti Lucretili Regional Park begins farther northeast, but the immediate surroundings are mainly built-up suburbs, quarries, roads and fragmented countryside tied to the Rome metropolitan area.
