At €44,000 (€550/m²), this 80 m² townhouse needs renovation estimated at about €56,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,250/m² versus €429/m² for comparable homes in the area. The 46 photos and cellar, terrace, balcony, and panoramic setting are positives, but the renovation burden makes the overall deal weak.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely attractive Abruzzo mountain-village setting, with dramatic wooded peaks, a stream below, panoramic outlooks, and atmospheric stone lanes. The 80 sqm townhouse is a real usable home rather than a ruin: it has a functioning-looking kitchen, bathroom, roof, floors, and traditional village character, but the interiors are very dated and need meaningful renovation.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 57/100The cluster sits on the Fucino plain under the Abruzzo Apennines, with Monte Velino and the Velino-Sirente group dominating the horizon to the north and east. It is close to the former basin of Lake Fucino, now a drained agricultural plain that still defines the landscape of this part of Marsica. The area is near the edge of the Sirente-Velino Regional Park. The nearest town of size is Avezzano, which has the main rail and road services for the Marsica area. This part of Abruzzo is known for the Fucino reclaimed plain and its intensive vegetable farming.
