This is explicitly an ASTA IMMOBILIARE (judicial auction), which is a mandatory veto under the scoring rules. Although the advertised price is €33,994 (€23/m² versus a €358/m² Abruzzo baseline), auction-specific legal, financing, and occupancy risks make it unsuitable for the normal livable-home catalog.
More on the house and the area
The old stone walls and broad Abruzzo valley view give this property genuine character and setting appeal. However, the house itself is an uninhabitable ruin with roof failures, debris and serious deterioration, so it is a project rather than a realistically usable home.
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€97,000 – €163,000
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.
- The interior appears severely dilapidated, with major roof damage, structural cracking, rubble and exposed masonry.
- No bathroom or usable living facilities are visible; it should be treated as a substantial reconstruction project despite the listing stating “habitable.”
- Auction purchase involves legal, inspection and financing risks that require review of the court documentation.
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 area is in the hills of the upper Trigno basin, with the Apennine foothills rising inland toward the Abruzzo-Molise border. The Trigno valley is the main landscape feature within reach. The nearest larger centres are Vasto on the coast and San Salvo, which provide the main services, rail access and larger retail. This part of inland southern Abruzzo is known for small hill villages, mixed farmland and olive growing, with woodland on the higher ground.
