What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 for 87 sqm, the ask is €517/sqm; described as ready to live in, I estimate light/ordinary refresh costs at about €200/sqm, for an effective €717/sqm. That is well above this catalog’s Abruzzo country-house baseline of €407/sqm, so despite the independent house format and solid photo set, it looks only a fair deal rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable little village house rather than a project: clean, furnished and reportedly ready to live in. The prettiest part is the borgo street setting and the small balcony outlook toward rooftops and hills, but the interiors are simple and dated, with limited historic charm.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Interiors are plain and dated rather than characterful.
- Some cosmetic updating is likely needed.
- Balcony view is pleasant village/hill outlook, not dramatic panorama.
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 cluster is in the lower hills between the Vomano and Fino valleys, with the Gran Sasso massif visible inland on clear days but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The Fino river runs nearby and the Adriatic coast is a short drive east, with the nearest larger centre at Atri, which has a substantial historic centre, a cathedral and municipal services. This part of northern Abruzzo is known for olive groves, vineyards and mixed farmed hills.
