Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 120 m² (€500/m²), this is already above the local reference level of €391/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for updates and energy improvements raises the effective cost to about €700/m². Two independent apartments, generous storage and a historic-center setting add value, but the remote mountain location and energy class G limit the deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable mountain-borgo property with two equipped apartments, working kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, bedrooms, and extensive balcony views over the wooded Abruzzo valleys. The panoramic setting and terracotta-roofed historic village create strong dream-home appeal, while the interiors are practical but old-fashioned rather than beautifully restored.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 fully usable but visibly dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The home is in a steep historic-borgo setting, with stairs and narrow pedestrian access visible outside.
- Energy class G; heating efficiency and running costs should be checked.
- The advertised garden and cellar spaces are not clearly shown in the gallery.
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 58/100Carsoli sits in the Abruzzo Apennine foothills, in a valley landscape of small agricultural plots, wooded slopes and scattered villages. Local small towns within the same valley and immediate area include Oricola and Civitella Roveto. The A24 motorway (Rome–L'Aquila) passes close to Carsoli and there is a motorway interchange serving the town, giving direct road links toward Rome and L'Aquila. The immediate surroundings are rural and low-density, with local roads serving hamlets and farmland rather than a single named scenic landmark or large protected area inside 15 km. Larger provincial centres (for wider services) lie beyond the immediate 15 km radius.
