At €24,000 (€500/m²), the asking price is close to the local €454/m² reference, but allowing roughly €700/m² for the unspecified condition brings the effective cost to about €1,200/m². The historic setting and authentic features add character, but the listing does not state whether the home is immediately habitable.
More on the house and the area
This is a charming, fully furnished historic village home with warm wood interiors, original details, a fitted kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and a spectacular elevated view toward the coast and countryside. It appears genuinely usable rather than an empty renovation shell, though the exterior needs cosmetic restoration and access is via steep village steps. At €24,000, the combination of livability, character, and view is exceptionally compelling.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Exterior plaster is visibly weathered and may need restoration.
- The home is compact at 48 sqm and appears to be in a steep, stair-accessed historic setting.
- Roof and utility condition are not confirmed by the listing.
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 74/100The cluster sits in the foothills below the Gran Sasso d’Italia massif, with the main mountain group and the Campo Imperatore side of the range within about 15 km to the west and north-west. The area falls within the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park. The nearest ski lifts are on the Gran Sasso side around Fonte Cerreto and Campo Imperatore, roughly 45–60 minutes by road depending on the access point. The nearest larger town is Penne, which has a substantial historic centre and services; Pescara on the Adriatic is the main city for wider shopping, rail links and the airport. 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.
