At €232/m² it looks cheap, but this 410 m² historic casale needs major roof and upper-vault restoration; at roughly €1,100/m², the estimated all-in cost is about €546,000 (€1,332/m²), far above comparable local homes.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric 18th-century historic house with beautiful exposed brickwork, a distinctive old doorway, decorative ceilings, and sweeping views toward the snow-capped mountains. However, it is not a move-in home: the interiors are severely deteriorated and the roof requires repair, making this a major restoration project despite the exceptional character and generous size.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€162,000 – €240,000
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.
- Major renovation required: the roof and some upper-floor vaults are damaged.
- Interiors show extensive damp, peeling plaster, exposed wiring, and deterioration; no usable kitchen or bathroom is shown.
- Large 410 sqm building may involve substantial structural, permitting, and restoration costs.
- The property is directly beside a road, so exterior privacy appears limited.
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 68/100The Maiella massif rises immediately to the south-west, with the northern edge of Maiella National Park within the local area. The Pescara River valley runs nearby and the landscape is a mix of lower hills, quarryed slopes and valley floor below the mountain front. The nearest ski area is Passolanciano-Maielletta on the Maiella, roughly 30–40 minutes by road. Chieti is the nearest larger town, with full services and a historic centre, and Pescara is the main city on this side of Abruzzo for rail links, airport and major retail. Manoppello is known for the Santuario del Volto Santo, a noted Catholic pilgrimage site.
