What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €37,800 (€180/m²), the advertised price looks low, but this is explicitly a judicial auction rather than a standard sale. Auction purchases carry tribunal, financing, occupancy, and legal-process risks that make it unsuitable for this catalog of straightforward livable homes.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, apparently habitable villa with a gated driveway, mature trees, garden space, terrace, cellar, garage, and heating. It offers practical living potential at a low price, but the setting is ordinary and the photos show little architectural charm or standout view.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Auction purchase adds legal, timing, and financing complexity.
- The exterior looks maintained, but the gallery does not prove the interior condition or bathroom provision.
- No notable panorama or distinctive historic character is visible.
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 is in the upper Aterno valley with the Monti della Laga to the north and west and the Gran Sasso massif within about 15 km to the east and south-east. The Aterno river runs through this area. Part of the surrounding territory falls within the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park. The nearest ski area is Campo Imperatore on the Gran Sasso, roughly an hour away by road, so it does not define the immediate setting. L'Aquila is the nearest city of size, with full services, a university and a substantial historic centre. This part of inland Abruzzo is known for mountain pasture, woodland and small stone villages in the seismic Apennine interior.
