In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
A habitable 71 m² townhouse at €59,000 has an estimated effective cost of about €1,031/m², well above the €429/m² median among comparable low-priced local homes. The historic-center setting, panoramic view, garage, and nearby services add appeal, but the price premium is substantial.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable three-level townhouse in a characterful historic-center setting, with an ornate traditional entrance, attractive tiled roofs, and a striking mountain panorama. The interiors are clean and functional, with furnished rooms, kitchen, bathroom, and a garage, but the overall finish is dated rather than stylish.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- The home is habitable but has visibly dated bathrooms, kitchen fittings, and finishes.
- Exterior plaster is worn and peeling in places, suggesting some cosmetic maintenance.
- Energy class G; no private garden or terrace is shown.
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 58/100The cluster is in the Pescara valley at the point where the Maiella foothills begin, with the Morrone and Maiella massifs visible to the southwest within this part of inland Abruzzo. The Pescara River runs through Scafa and the valley is a settled corridor of small towns, roads and rail rather than open upland country. Maiella National Park begins a short distance inland on the mountain side, and the better-known high mountain landscapes are around Caramanico Terme and the park valleys beyond. The nearest substantial town is Pescara on the coast, while inland Popoli has rail services and everyday facilities. This part of the valley is known for olive groves, vineyards and access routes from the coast toward the interior of the Maiella.
