See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €34,000 (€540/m²), this 63 m² home needs a complete renovation estimated around €1,100/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,640/m². That is far above comparable local stock at about €426/m²; the independent entrance, private courtyard and natural setting add some appeal but do not offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid-looking small home with a private paved courtyard, surrounding greenery, traditional patterned floors and a fireplace, at an unusually low €34,000. However, the interiors are dated and visibly damp in places, with a very basic kitchen and bathroom, so it is a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€25,000 – €37,000
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.
- Advertised as completely needing renovation; the bathroom and kitchen are particularly dated and poor.
- Visible damp, peeling finishes, worn fixtures and rough outbuildings suggest meaningful refurbishment rather than a light refresh.
- No interior condition details, utilities status or renovation compliance information are provided.
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 58/100The cluster lies on the lower slopes of the Abruzzo Apennines above the Vomano river valley. The Vomano river runs through the valley below the town. The surrounding landscape is a mix of small-scale hill agriculture (olive groves, vineyards, cereals) and deciduous woodlands on higher slopes. The provincial capital Teramo (about 12–15 km north) provides a hospital, larger shops, provincial administration and regular bus links. The Gran Sasso massif (higher Abruzzo Apennines) is the dominant mountain backdrop at regional scale; the main ski area on Gran Sasso (Prati di Tivo) is a mountain-access destination at roughly 30–40 km by road. The area sits between the Apennine interior and the Adriatic plain, so both mountain and coastal services are within regional reach.
