At €60,000 (€429/m²), the price is close to the local €380/m² benchmark, but the three-level mixed-use layout, energy class G and unspecified condition suggest substantial work. With estimated renovation of about €700/m², the effective cost reaches roughly €1,129/m², making this weak value unless the property is found to be in better condition than described.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, spacious country home with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a working kitchen, heating, and a memorable open view across cultivated countryside toward the Abruzzo mountains. Traditional details such as the brick arch, fireplace, patterned floors, and rural setting give it character, while the condition is livable but clearly dated and in need of cosmetic refreshing.
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€28,000 – €49,000
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 interiors are fully usable but dated, with worn floors, older kitchen and bathroom fittings, and visible wall moisture/staining.
- Energy class G suggests poor energy efficiency and potentially higher heating costs.
- The property includes substantial cellar/storage areas and three levels, so circulation and maintenance may be less convenient.
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 76/100The cluster sits in the Peligna valley under the Central Apennines, with the Maiella massif to the east and the mountains around Sulmona and the upper Sagittario valley close by. The Sagittario River runs through Introdacqua. The area is close to Majella National Park, and the Gole del Sagittario nature reserve begins a short distance to the south toward Anversa degli Abruzzi. The nearest ski areas are Passo Godi and Roccaraso-Aremogna, both reached by mountain road in roughly 35 to 50 minutes depending on conditions. Sulmona is the nearest town of size, with a full historic centre, railway station, shops and services. The wider area is known for confetti from Sulmona and for mountain villages set between the Peligna basin and the Abruzzo highlands.
