Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 (€360/m²), the asking price is close to comparable local listings, but allowing roughly €25,000 for ordinary updating brings the effective cost to about €560/m², above that benchmark. The description presents a spacious independent home with two bathrooms, balconies, a terrace and a fireplace, though it does not state the condition or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, habitable 125 sqm home with multiple balconies and a genuinely impressive mountain-and-valley outlook from the upper level. The interiors are plain and old-fashioned rather than beautiful, but include a functioning kitchen, two bathrooms, four bedrooms, heating, and a separate tavern with fireplace—making this a real home, not a renovation shell. At €45,000, the space and setting create a strong bargain effect.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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 clean and usable but dated, with older fixtures, furnishings, and finishes.
- Exterior plaster, balconies, and railings show weathering and may need maintenance.
- Village access appears sloped and potentially tight for parking or daily car use.
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 sits in the Peligna valley below the central Apennines, with the Morrone massif and the Majella range within this radius. The Sagittario valley begins nearby, and Sulmona is the nearest town of size, with a preserved historic centre, rail station and the main services for the area. The Majella National Park lies partly within this surrounding mountain area. The nearest ski slopes are at Passo San Leonardo on the Majella, roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive depending on road conditions. This part of Abruzzo is known for mountain villages, transhumance country and Sulmona’s confetti production.
