What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable townhouse at 862 EUR/m2 sits above the local median of 427 EUR/m2 (2x baseline is solid), so it's not cheap versus comps despite the low absolute price. Positives: habitable condition, two independent units plus ~300 m2 private courtyard, good for rental/investment, fresh listing (1 day). Negatives: no building year or energy class provided, and being priced double the median caps the deal quality. Modest refresh budget assumed given habitable status. Overall a fair, not exceptional, opportunity.
More on the house and the area
Habitable pink townhouse near L'Aquila, 80sqm on two levels split into two independent units with ~300sqm exclusive courtyard. Interiors are clean but plain: basic kitchen, dated bathrooms with corner showers, wood-laminate bedrooms with animal-print bedding. Exterior is functional with a scrubby yard. Low price and dual-unit layout make it a reasonable investment but nothing visually striking. No wow factors.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Pink exterior paint and dated finishes
- Interiors are plain and functional, some wear visible

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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of L’Aquila, so the resident setting is an inland city basin rather than open countryside. The Gran Sasso massif rises immediately to the northeast, with Campo Imperatore on the high plateau above the city. The Aterno runs through the valley. Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park begins close to the city and covers the mountains around the basin. The nearest ski lifts are at Campo Imperatore, reached by mountain road in roughly 35–45 minutes, with other lifts at Campo Felice farther west. L’Aquila is the main town of inland Abruzzo and has administrative services, a university, major churches and a substantial historic centre under long post-earthquake reconstruction. The area is known for the Gran Sasso, for saffron from the Navelli side of the wider basin, and for mountain pastoral landscapes in the surrounding highlands.
