At €409/m², the asking price is slightly below the local €425/m² benchmark, but allowing about €22,000 for habitable-condition updates brings the effective cost to roughly €609/m². The 2013 renovation, renewed wooden roof, panoramic terrace and mountain setting add appeal, though the remote location limits value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, renovated mountain home with a spectacular Abruzzo panorama from its large covered terrace and several rooms. Exposed wooden ceilings, a traditional fireplace, patterned tile floors, and the €45,000 price give it strong dream-home appeal despite its dated décor and compact one-bath layout.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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 well maintained but dated and the kitchen/bathroom may eventually need modernization.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a three-bedroom home.
- Townhouse access appears to involve exterior steps and a hillside village setting.
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 68/100The area sits at the western edge of the Marsica, between the Monti Simbruini and the higher Abruzzo Apennines, with enclosed valleys and wooded slopes around the town. The Liri has its source territory nearby at Cappadocia and flows through this part of the upper Liri valley. The Monti Simbruini Regional Park begins a short distance to the west on the Lazio side, and the Sirente Velino Regional Park lies to the east beyond Avezzano. The nearest ski lifts are at Campo Staffi above Filettino, roughly an hour by road in winter conditions. Avezzano is the nearest larger town, with hospitals, rail links and the main services of the Marsica plain. This part of Abruzzo is known for the former Fucino basin and for mountain pastoral country on the edge of the central Apennines.
