At €44,000 (€518/m²), this 85 m² house needs modernization; allowing about €700/m² puts the total investment near €103,500 (€1,218/m²), far above the local €386/m² reference. The historic-center setting, terrace, views and nearby parking add appeal, but do not offset the high all-in cost.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable village house with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and traditional character rather than an empty shell. Its strongest appeal is the exceptional mountain-and-valley setting, historic lanes, stonework, and potential rooftop panorama, while the interiors are very dated and the exterior shows damp and maintenance issues.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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 house is clearly dated and needs modernization, with visible damp/weathering around the courtyard and exterior walls.
- The historic-center setting means narrow pedestrian lanes and limited immediate car access, despite nearby parking.
- The spectacular rooftop terrace mentioned in the description is not clearly shown in the photos and should be verified.
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 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.
