At €40,000 (€200/m²), this furnished two-level home with autonomous heating and three bathrooms is attractively priced; allowing about €200/m² for updates gives an estimated effective cost of €400/m² versus roughly €426/m² for comparable local homes. The mountain setting is remote from the coast, and the listing does not state the precise condition, construction year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, fully furnished Abruzzo townhouse with a broad terrace, green mountain views, mature planting, and attractive stone detailing outside. The house is clearly a real, usable home with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, heating, and solid traditional interiors, though the décor and finishes are distinctly dated rather than move-in fashionable. At €40,000 for about 200 m², the combination of livability, views, and space is highly compelling.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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 and bathrooms are very dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Some visible ceiling/wall wear and exterior balcony maintenance need checking.
- Mountain-town access, heating costs, and seismic documentation 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 around
Location score 62/100The cluster sits in the central Apennines (the Abruzzo mountains); the land within about 15 km is hilly to mountainous with mixed beech and chestnut woodland, mountain pastures and small agricultural plots. L'Aquila province contains the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park and the Sirente‑Velino massif/Sirente‑Velino Regional Park; parts of these protected mountain areas lie in the province. Local roads link to small mountain towns and villages that provide daily shops and municipal services; the provincial capital L'Aquila is the nearest major service centre with a hospital, university and rail connections. Ski infrastructure for the Abruzzo Apennines (Campo Felice, Ovindoli/Campo Imperatore areas) is reached by road from towns in the province. The surrounding area is traditionally given to sheep and goat farming and related mountain food production (local cheeses and lamb dishes).
