What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 for 220 sqm, the ask is €355/sqm; assuming habitable condition from the text ('immediately available... purchased and lived in'), the effective cost is about €555/sqm including ~€200/sqm light updates. That is about 73% above your low-stock baseline of €320/sqm for Abruzzo farmhouses, but the large size, 24 photos, and immediate usability keep it in the good/fair-positive range rather than a weak listing.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable country house with lovely rolling-hill views, terraces, trees and enough character from the beams and fireplace to feel like an Abruzzo home rather than a shell. Condition looks basically habitable now, but the interiors are simple and a bit tired, so expect refreshment rather than instant dream-home perfection. At €78k for 220 sqm, the price adds strong appeal.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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 basic and dated rather than polished.
- Some exterior areas and lower-level finishes look rough/unfinished.
- Only one bathroom for a large 220 sqm house.
- Hillside plot appears sloped and partly rustic rather than easy flat garden space.
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.
