In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
A habitable 193 m² villa at €32,020 (€166/m²), with heating, cellar, terrace, balcony and fireplace, is priced below the local comparison level of €383/m². Allowing roughly €38,600 for light renovation gives an effective cost near €366/m², making this a solid but not exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuinely habitable 193 m² townhouse with a functioning kitchen, bathrooms, heating, terrace, balcony, cellar and attractive exposed wood and stone details. It lacks a spectacular view or landscaped setting, but the traditional character and very low price make it a practical, charming Italian home rather than a renovation shell.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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 dated and heavily furnished, so cosmetic updating would help.
- The attic/storage areas appear cramped and cluttered, with steep stairs.
- The exterior is urban and enclosed, with no significant open views or garden shown.
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 is in the Marsica uplands on the edge of the Sirente-Velino area, with the Velino and Sirente groups forming the main mountain backdrop within this part of inland Abruzzo. The Fucino plain lies immediately below, a large reclaimed basin that shapes the local landscape around Aielli and the neighbouring hill towns. The area falls within the Sirente Velino Regional Park. The nearest town of size is Avezzano, which has the main services, shops and rail connections of the Marsica. Celano is nearby and is known for the Piccolomini Castle above the plain. This part of Abruzzo is known for hill towns looking over the former Lake Fucino basin and for vegetable farming on the reclaimed plain.
