At €70,000 (€350/m²), this renovated 200 m² villa is modestly below the local €383/m² benchmark, making it a reasonably priced livable home rather than a standout bargain. The description is very brief and does not state the building year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
The property has a pleasant rural Abruzzo setting, with broad rolling-hills views and a productive-looking orchard around it. However, the house itself appears to be an unfinished shell with exposed brick, bare concrete floors, open terraces, and no visible livable interiors, so it is a major renovation project rather than a ready home.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- Photos show a largely unfinished concrete-and-brick shell, despite the listing claiming “renovated.”
- No finished kitchen, bathrooms, windows, flooring, or visible utilities are shown.
- Substantial completion work and verification of permits, services, and structural condition would be needed.
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.
