What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
With baseline data weak, this is judged on absolute plausibility: €45,000 for 105 sqm is €429/sqm before works. Assuming a needs-renovation country house at about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,129/sqm; the historic-center position in a charming Abruzzo borgo helps, but it is not a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a project: kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom are all in place, and it looks basically move-in ready with cosmetic updating. The setting in the borgo has some charm and there is a nice church/hillside outlook, but the house itself is fairly ordinary and lacks standout historic features.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €37,000
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.
- Interior is very dated and plain rather than characterful.
- Some exterior maintenance is visible on balconies/render.
- Only one bathroom shown.
- View seems partial rather than panoramic.
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 58/100The area is in the hills of the upper Trigno basin, with the Apennine foothills rising inland toward the Abruzzo-Molise border. The Trigno valley is the main landscape feature within reach. The nearest larger centres are Vasto on the coast and San Salvo, which provide the main services, rail access and larger retail. This part of inland southern Abruzzo is known for small hill villages, mixed farmland and olive growing, with woodland on the higher ground.
