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
At €85,000 for 169 sqm, the ask is about €503/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of ~€200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €703/sqm. That sits well above the local low-stock baseline of €365/sqm in Abruzzo villas, so this looks ordinary-to-weak value despite the large fenced land, garage, panoramic view, and good photo coverage.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable country house rather than a romantic ruin: it has a proper kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, terrace and substantial internal space. The best appeal is the fenced 1,800 sqm flat plot and the panoramic hill setting, but the house itself is plain and quite dated, so the dream factor comes more from space and landscape than from architectural beauty. At the price, it feels solid value rather than a scroll-stopping fantasy home.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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 very dated and need modernization.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a large 169 sqm house.
- Exterior and outdoor areas are functional rather than especially pretty.
- Panoramic setting is claimed, but photos show only limited glimpses of it.
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.
