At €79,000 plus an estimated €20,000 for unspecified works, the effective cost is about €990/m², well above the local €386/m² benchmark. The listing describes a 90 m² home with two bathrooms and a substantial 40 m² cellar, but it does not state the condition or renovation needs.
More on the house and the area
A charming, freshly renovated multi-level townhouse with attractive stone-framed entrances, traditional balconies, bright tiled interiors and views toward Popoli’s historic streets and church tower. It looks like a real, heated and usable home rather than a renovation shell, though the kitchen still needs to be installed and the setting is fully urban.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 kitchen appears unfinished or unfitted, with only plumbing connections visible.
- The home is in a dense town street with no private garden or outdoor living space.
- The cellar is mentioned but not shown in the photos.
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 74/100The cluster is at the meeting point of the Valle Peligna and the upper Pescara valley, with the Maiella massif to the east and the Gran Sasso and Sirente-Velino groups within the surrounding mountain frame. The Pescara River rises here at the Sorgenti del Pescara, and the area lies next to the Popoli springs and gorges. The Monte Genzana Alto Gizio Regional Nature Reserve begins just south of town, and the Maiella National Park is close on the eastern side of the valley. The nearest ski lifts are at Passo Lanciano on the Maiella, roughly an hour by road, and at Campo di Giove or Roccaraso farther away. Sulmona is the nearest larger town, with a complete historic centre, rail connections and services. Popoli is known for its springs and for sitting at a mountain crossroads between the inland Abruzzo valleys.
