The house is described as habitable, so estimated total cost is about €101,200 including light renovation, or €649/m²—roughly 69% above the local benchmark of €383/m². It offers 156 m², five bedrooms, private outdoor space and 46 photos, but the price is not compelling for this market.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, spacious and apparently habitable country home with a usable kitchen, fireplace, covered portico, balcony and large private garden. The leafy grounds and open views toward the surrounding Abruzzo hills give it real lifestyle appeal, although the house itself is fairly plain and dated rather than architecturally exceptional.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
- Only one bathroom for a 156 m², multi-level house.
- Energy class G and older finishes may mean higher running costs and some updating.
- The external metal staircase and extensive grounds will require ongoing maintenance.
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 67/100The cluster sits in the rolling inland hills between the Foro and Arielli valleys, with the Maiella massif visible to the west in clear weather. The Maiella National Park begins within roughly this radius on the mountain side above Guardiagrele and Pennapiedimonte. The nearest ski lifts are on the Passolanciano-Majelletta side of the Maiella, about 35-45 minutes by car. Guardiagrele is the nearest substantial hill town, with a preserved historic centre and churches; Chieti is the nearest larger city with full services. This part of Abruzzo is known for vineyards and olive groves, especially Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and olive oil from the Chieti hills.
