What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €84,000 for 105 sqm, the asking price is about €800/sqm; assuming roughly €700/sqm to complete/refresh after the post-earthquake reconstruction mention, the effective cost is about €1,500/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €453/sqm in Abruzzo country houses. The independent layout, exclusive courtyard and 55 photos are positives, but on price alone this is not a discount to this catalog's baseline.
More on the house and the area
The borgo position and green mountain views give it genuine appeal, and the rebuilt exterior looks structurally solid. But this is still a very unfinished house inside, with bare rooms and incomplete fittings, so it feels more like a near-complete project than a ready home. At €84k for 105 sqm, the price helps, but the current wow is held back by livability.
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 still unfinished and not move-in ready
- Outdoor areas look improvised/cluttered rather than usable yet
- Limited proven historic character despite borgo setting
- Needs verification of utilities, finishes and reconstruction status
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 72/100The cluster sits in the upper Aterno valley with the Monti della Laga and Gran Sasso d'Italia massifs within the surrounding mountain frame, and the western edge of the Sirente-Velino system close by. The Aterno river valley is the main landscape feature here. The area is close to the Velino Sirente Regional Park and not far from the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park, though the village itself is on the valley side rather than inside a major park core. The nearest substantial town is L'Aquila, which has a large historic centre, major services and monuments, and lies a short drive to the east. Campo Felice, one of the nearest ski areas, is reachable in roughly 25 to 35 minutes by road. This part of inland Abruzzo is known for mountain valleys, pasture, beech woodland and access to the central Apennines.
