Assuming substantial finishing at €700/m², effective price = €175,000 + €84,000 = €259,000 → €2,158/m², far above the local median €594/m². The listing omits condition, year and energy class so the extent of work is unclear.
More on the house and the area
The villa has a pleasant, photogenic exterior with a covered terrace, private garden/parking and a distant outlook. However the entire interior is an unfinished structural shell and would need complete finishing (systems, floors, bathrooms, kitchen) before it’s a livable 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€24,000 – €42,000
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.
- Interior is unfinished shell: exposed brick, concrete columns and rough screed floors (no finishes).
- No visible bathrooms, kitchen, electrics or plumbing fixtures — full interior fit-out required.
- Verify planning/permitting and exact state of roof/windows 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 61/100The cluster is on the eastern side of the Roman hinterland at the foot of the Monti Tiburtini and close to the Aniene valley. The Aniene river runs nearby, and Tivoli is the nearest town of size with services and major historic sites including Villa d’Este and Hadrian’s Villa, both UNESCO. The Monti Lucretili Regional Natural Park begins a short distance to the north-west. Rome is the main city for work, rail and airports, but it does not count as a landscape feature here. The area is known for olive groves, limestone hills and the corridor from Tivoli toward the Abruzzo-facing Apennines.
