Listed at €55,000 but described as “completely to renovate” so I estimate €1,100/m² → €110,000 renovation, total ≈€165,000 (≈€1,650/m²). That effective price is far above the Lazio baseline of €624/m², so this looks overpriced for a full‑restore project.
More on the house and the area
Large private plot (6,000 m²) with pleasant green/hillside views and easy road access — good setting for country living. The building is a basic, solid two‑storey house but is currently cluttered and advertised as 'completely to be renovated'; it’s a renovation project with services in place rather than a move‑in home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated — interiors and finishes need full work
- Overgrown garden and external terrace need clearing and repairs
- Check roof/structure and permit requirements before work
- Utilities present but verify connections and condition
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 68/100The cluster is in the Monti Prenestini, with the higher Simbruini mountains close to the east. The valley of the Sacco lies below this hill area. Parco Naturale Regionale dei Monti Simbruini begins a short drive east of Olevano Romano and shapes the wider mountain backdrop of daily life here. The nearest ski lifts are at Campo Staffi above Filettino, roughly an hour’s drive in normal conditions. The nearest larger towns are Subiaco in the upper Aniene valley, with everyday services and a monastic complex, and the outer eastern side of Rome farther west for higher-order services and rail links. Olevano Romano is known for Cesanese wine, and this part of eastern Lazio is a hill-country transition between vineyards, olive groves and the first Apennine slopes.
