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 80m² villa at €562/m² sits above the local median (€354/m²), so it's ~59% over baseline despite being move-in ready. The 1970 build with only an electric water heater and aluminum verandas suggests dated systems and likely thermal/energy inefficiency (no energy class listed). Description is plausible and consistent (2 levels, cellar, storage), 14 photos, and freshly listed (1 day) so no staleness concern. Moderate cosmetic/systems refresh (~€400/m²) would modernize it. Fair rather than good because you're paying a premium over comparable local stock for habitability.
More on the house and the area
Modest two-level terraced house in Attimis, Friuli, at a low price (€562/m²) but with no wow appeal. Photos show a tired 1970s interior: dated tiling, old wood stove, worn floors and a basic bathroom, several rooms covered in plastic sheeting. Exterior is a mundane patched facade with cluttered courtyard and aluminum verandas. Habitable but ordinary; the cheap price is the only mildly interesting factor and not enough to qualify as a bargain wow.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Dated interior with tiled walls and old fixtures throughout
- Kitchen and bathroom covered in protective plastic, suggesting unfinished/vacated state
- Cluttered exterior courtyard and aluminum veranda extensions look tacked-on
- No standout view or natural setting shown

The area around
Location score 68/100The cluster lies in the foothills at the eastern edge of the Friulian plain, under the Julian Prealps. The Torre valley and the first wooded ridges of the Prealps are within the area, with villages spread between fields, vines and forest. The nearest substantial town is Udine, which provides the main rail links, services and larger retail. Cividale del Friuli is nearby and is part of the UNESCO listing of the Longobards in Italy. This part of eastern Friuli is known for hill villages, mixed farming and wine, especially the Colli Orientali zone to the south and west.
