What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €38,000 asking price is €288/m², well below the Abruzzo townhouse baseline of €425/m², but estimated habitable-condition costs of €200/m² bring the effective price to about €488/m². Its central location, garage, cellar, terrace, and 15 photos support a solid but not exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, habitable village townhouse with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, balconies, a terrace, fireplace, garage, and cellar. Its strongest asset is the bright Abruzzo mountain-village setting, with broad green hill views from the upper level, while the old fireplace, tiled floors, stonework, and wrought-iron balconies add character. It is more charming and exceptionally affordable than polished or luxurious.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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 are fully usable but dated, with aging finishes and furnishings.
- The house is in a dense village setting with overhead wires and limited private outdoor space.
- No kitchen is clearly shown in the photo gallery; verify systems, heating, and renovation status.
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 57/100The area sits in the lower Trigno valley, with cultivated hills and wooded slopes between the inland Molise uplands and the Adriatic side. The Trigno river runs nearby and marks the Molise–Abruzzo boundary in this sector. Within the area is the Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Canneto, a Romanesque rural church by the river that is the main historic landmark locally. Trivento is the nearest small town of note inland, with a hilltop historic centre and cathedral; the Adriatic coast around San Salvo and Vasto is farther away and does not define the immediate landscape. The area is known mainly for mixed farming, olive groves and small hill villages of the Trigno hinterland.
