€65,000 for 174 m²; assuming habitable condition (~€200/m²) renovation ≈€34,800 yields an effective price ≈€99,800 or ≈€574/m² versus the local median €600/m² (small discount). 27 photos and the description note spacious, well-distributed rooms, but the listing does not state the condition or energy class.
More on the house and the area
Spacious, solid townhouse with classic Italian touches (stone fireplace, terrazzo floors) and a small planted front area — clearly lived-in and immediately usable. Rooms are generous but the kitchen and bathrooms are dated and would benefit from modernization; excellent value for 174 m² at €65k.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Dated finishes in kitchen and bathrooms — cosmetic renovation likely needed
- Only a small front outdoor area shown, no large garden or notable views
- Confirm energy/technical status (heating/insulation) — not provided in listing
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 lies in the upper Velino valley at the foot of Monte Terminillo and the Reatini Mountains. The Velino river system and the Santa Susanna springs are in this part of the plain, and the area is closely tied to the Piana Reatina landscape. The Monti della Laga and Gran Sasso are farther east on the Abruzzo side and form part of the wider mountain horizon, but they are beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Terminillo, about 30-40 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Rieti is the nearest town of size and provides the main services, rail and road links, and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for mountain valleys, karst springs, and the chain of small lakes around Cittaducale and the Rieti plain, with Lago di Piediluco farther away outside the immediate radius.
