What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €66,000 for 260 sqm, the asking price is just €254/sqm versus a €400/sqm baseline in Abruzzo country houses; even assuming about €400/sqm of updates, the effective cost is roughly €654/sqm, still plausible for a large multi-unit property with garden/terrace/parking. The description says it is an entire versatile property with two connected apartments and many accessory spaces, and 64 photos reduce uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, sizeable house rather than a shell, with usable interiors, a fireplace and a big terrace with open hill views. The wow comes more from the generous space, price and rooftop outlook than from design beauty, because the rooms are very dated and need substantial refreshing. It feels livable now, but not yet dream-home pretty.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €51,000
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 very dated and need significant cosmetic updating.
- Some visible cracking/damp staining suggests maintenance work is needed.
- Bathroom and kitchen areas look basic and old-fashioned rather than refreshed.
- Terrace is large but quite plain and exposed, with overhead wires affecting the feel.
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 56/100The area is in the inland hills between the Sangro and Trigno valleys, with a landscape of ridges, fields, olive groves and small wooded sections typical of this part of southern Abruzzo. The Adriatic coast is not far east, but the immediate surroundings are hilly countryside rather than a coastal setting. Within this radius the nearest larger centre is Atessa, which has a substantial historic core and everyday services. This part of the province is known for olive oil, vineyards and hill villages rather than for a single dominant landmark or protected landscape.
