What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description says this is a terracielo with an adjacent barn to be turned into a custom home, so I assume a heavy renovation at about €900/m²; that puts the effective cost around €1,371/m² (€73k + works on 155 m²), far above the local stock baseline of €350/m². Baseline confidence is weak here because, but on absolute terms this does not read as cheap unless the conversion/renovation potential is much better than stated.
More on the house and the area
The exterior has real old-house charm, with a handsome corner facade, balconies and traditional vaulted rooms inside. This is not a ruin: it is roofed, floored and has a usable bathroom, but the interiors are tired and partly rustic, so it feels like a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in dream home today.
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 interior updating and cleaning
- Kitchen is very dated and partly rough/unfinished
- Some rooms appear ancillary/storage rather than ready living space
- Only one bathroom shown
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.
