What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Effective price ≈ €1,529/m² (€465k + estimated €70k renovation on 350 m²) versus the local median €594/m²; the property’s large private park (6,000 m²), pool and 75 photos justify a premium but it remains well above our typical inventory. The listing does not state the building’s condition, so a habitable-level renovation estimate was used.
More on the house and the area
A very handsome, well‑kept villa with expansive terraces, pool and panoramic hill views — clearly move‑in ready. The interiors are comfortable and characterful (notably the fireplace) and the huge private garden is a dream, though it brings maintenance costs.
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€23,000 – €39,000
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.
- Large private park and pool mean ongoing maintenance and running costs.
- Terraces and some outdoor finishes may need upkeep or cosmetic attention.
- Energy performance / heating details are not shown — check bills and certificates.
- Price (€465k) is well above the cheap €15–100k bracket — not a bargain buy.
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

The Aniene valley lies to the north within this area. Tivoli is the nearest major historic town, with Villa d'Este and Hadrian's Villa, both UNESCO sites, and with everyday services tied to the eastern edge of Rome. Palestrina is also nearby, with its historic hill town and the sanctuary complex of Fortuna Primigenia. This part of inland Roma province is known for the transition from the plain around the capital to the first Apennine foothills and for long-settled agricultural land.
