What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 for 300 m², the ask is just €297/m²; assuming habitable 1990 construction, a light €200/m² refresh gives an effective €497/m², still below the local baseline of €538/m². Large size, independent house, garden/terrace/parking and strong photo coverage make this a notably attractive buy, though not a no-work steal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable country house rather than a project: large, habitable, with kitchens/bathrooms in place, heating, balconies and generous internal space. The best wow comes from the green mountain setting and open terrace views, plus the big rustic living room with timber ceilings and fireplace. It feels livable now, but dated finishes and a few visible maintenance issues keep it below dream-home level.
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€20,000 – €34,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and cluttered, so expect cosmetic updating.
- Some visible wall cracking/aging details need checking.
- Exterior is plain rather than especially charming.
- Steep rural driveway/access may not suit everyone.
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 Simbruini area on the eastern side of the province of Rome, with limestone mountains and wooded slopes within the local horizon. The Monti Simbruini Regional Park lies immediately around this part of the upper Aniene valley. The Aniene river basin shapes the nearby valleys, with Subiaco the nearest town of size; it has a substantial historic centre, monastery sites in its territory, and everyday services. The area is known for mountain pasture, woods, and upland villages on the edge between the Roman hinterland and the central Apennines.
