See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €22,000 (€200/m²), this central 110 m² townhouse is attractively priced, but allowing about €500/m² for the stated renovation brings the effective cost to roughly €700/m² versus a €425/m² local benchmark. The seller says it could be inhabited immediately with limited work, and 19 photos plus autonomous heating support the opportunity, though it is 32 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, roofed three-level home with bright rooms, working-looking kitchen facilities, heating, a traditional fireplace, and attractive vintage tiled floors. Its strongest feature is the excellent hill and village view from the balcony and upper rooms. It is not a polished dream home, but at €22,000 it offers a very affordable livable base with mostly cosmetic-to-moderate renovation needs.
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, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €21,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The home is usable but clearly dated, especially the bathroom and kitchen.
- Visible exterior cracking and peeling plaster should be inspected before purchase.
- The cellar/storage rooms are rough and may need renovation; utilities and heating status should be verified.
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 is known for hill villages, olive groves and arable land at the meeting point between the Vestina hills and the Gran Sasso foothills.
