What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The asking price is €73,000 for 155 sqm (€471/sqm), already above the local cheap-stock baseline of €417/sqm, and the description says both buildings need renovation; adding about €900/sqm renovation pushes the effective cost far above baseline. A major risk is that part of the property is an adjacent hayloft/barn plus cellars/storage areas and nearby land, so not all 155 sqm may be straightforwardly livable residential space.
More on the house and the area
The exterior is genuinely attractive, with a handsome period façade and plenty of old-house character inside, including vaulted ceilings, stone spaces and an antique hearth. This is a real house rather than a shell, with floors, rooms and a bathroom in place, but it is clearly worn and needs substantial renovation before it feels comfortable to live in. The extra barn, courtyard and nearby land add dream value at the price.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €55,000
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.
- Needs significant renovation and updating
- Kitchen is primitive/dated and partly damaged
- Only one basic bathroom shown
- Adjacent barn/outbuildings are not ready-to-live spaces
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 76/100The cluster sits in the Peligna valley under the Central Apennines, with the Maiella massif to the east and the mountains around Sulmona and the upper Sagittario valley close by. The Sagittario River runs through Introdacqua. The area is close to Majella National Park, and the Gole del Sagittario nature reserve begins a short distance to the south toward Anversa degli Abruzzi. The nearest ski areas are Passo Godi and Roccaraso-Aremogna, both reached by mountain road in roughly 35 to 50 minutes depending on conditions. Sulmona is the nearest town of size, with a full historic centre, railway station, shops and services. The wider area is known for confetti from Sulmona and for mountain villages set between the Peligna basin and the Abruzzo highlands.
