The listing explicitly states “ASTA IMMOBILIARE,” making this a judicial auction and an automatic veto despite the €89,880 price and 208 m² size. The advertised €432/m² is above the Abruzzo villa baseline of €358/m² before renovation costs.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, intact-looking family villa in a very green and peaceful Abruzzo hillside setting, with surrounding fields and woodland. The house itself is plain rather than characterful, and the lack of interior photos—plus the auction context—makes livability and finish quality difficult to verify.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Auction purchase adds legal, timing, and occupancy risks.
- The exterior looks intact and habitable, but no interior photos are provided to verify bathrooms, kitchen, finishes, or actual condition.
- Rural access is via a narrow local road; utilities and exact property boundaries should be checked.
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 upper Aterno valley with the Monti della Laga to the north and west and the Gran Sasso massif to the south-east. The Aterno river runs through this part of the valley. Much of the surrounding mountain area falls within the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park. The nearest ski lifts are the small Campo Stella area above Leonessa, roughly 35–45 minutes by road, while the larger Campo Imperatore side of Gran Sasso is farther and does not sit inside the immediate area. L'Aquila is the nearest city of size, with full services and a substantial historic centre. This part of inland Abruzzo is known for mountain pasture, forested slopes and stone villages spread through the valley and side valleys.
