What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 for 180 sqm, the ask is €328/sqm versus a €377/sqm baseline, but with missing condition data and a description focused on 'personalizzare gli ambienti' I assume a needs-renovation level (~€700/sqm), bringing effective cost to about €1,028/sqm. The low entry price and large independent house help, but missing basic data (beds/baths/condition) keeps it below diamond level.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a solid, sizeable independent house in a peaceful wooded setting, with usable outdoor space and a very low price for 180 sqm. However, the exterior is functional rather than romantic, and without interior photos there is no proof of charm or move-in quality. It feels more like a practical cheap home with potential than a dream-property scroll stopper.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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.
- No interior photos, so finish level and true livability are unclear.
- Exterior is plain rather than characterful, with a utilitarian apartment-block feel.
- Setting looks quiet and green but no proven open view from the photos.
- Likely needs updating/personalization despite appearing structurally sound.
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 68/100The area sits in the Alto Molise and upper Sangro uplands, with the Apennines close around the village. The Sangro river valley is nearby. The Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise National Park lies to the west within the wider mountain area, though not inside the immediate 15 km radius. The nearest ski lifts are those of Roccaraso and Rivisondoli, roughly an hour's drive away. The nearest town of some size is Castel di Sangro, which has everyday services and rail connections on the Sulmona–Carpinone line. This part of Molise is known for mountain pasture, woodland and small hill villages.
