Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €42,000 (€560/m²), the home is already above the local €385/m² benchmark; assuming €700/m² for the unspecified works brings the effective cost to about €94,500, or €1,260/m². The central village setting, terrace and expansion potential add appeal, but the listing does not say whether the existing house is habitable or detail the required renovations.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable village house with three bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and working domestic interiors, rather than a renovation shell. Its strongest appeal is the atmospheric Abruzzo borgo setting: old stone walls, cobbled lanes, terraces and a striking mountain view. The home is practical and full of character, though dated and more charming than polished.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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 furnished and usable but notably dated, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
- Access is through steep, narrow cobbled borgo lanes and stairs, with no visible private garden or dedicated parking.
- Roof, utilities, heating efficiency and any damp or structural issues 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 72/100The cluster lies in the Peligna valley with the Morrone massif immediately to the east and the Maiella massif close to the south-east. The Sagittario and Aterno-Gizio river system shapes the wider valley around Sulmona. The Maiella National Park begins nearby on the mountain side above the valley. Sulmona is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, rail connections and services. The area is known for the enclosed intermontane basin of the Peligna and for access into the Maiella and the gorges toward the upper Sagittario valley.
