What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the asking price is €235/m² versus the Abruzzo villa baseline of €358/m², the 298 m² figure includes a 145 m² dwelling explicitly requiring renovation; estimated effective cost is about €675/m² after works. The listing has been on the market for 669 days, and the description conflicts with the supplied “Habitable” condition and sqm total.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial two-home property with attractive rustic character: exposed brick arches, vaulted brick ceilings, traditional tiles, and a pleasant old-fashioned kitchen. One dwelling appears genuinely habitable and furnished, while the second needs meaningful renovation, so this is a flexible live-plus-project opportunity rather than a fully polished dream home.
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, €675/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €105,000
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 property includes two separate homes, but one requires renovation; the photos show unfinished rooms, worn stairs, and a dated bathroom.
- No clear panoramic view, garden, or outdoor living area is visibly demonstrated despite the listing claims.
- The usable unit appears furnished and habitable, but finishes and fixtures are dated.
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 61/100The area sits in the inland hills between the Pescara valley and the first ridges of the Abruzzo Apennines. The Gran Sasso massif is the main mountain presence to the north-west, visible from parts of this belt of Pescara province. The Tirino valley and the edge of the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park are within roughly this inland zone, though the park boundary is not at the village itself. The nearest larger town is Pescara on the Adriatic, which provides the main rail station, hospital, airport and full city services. This part of Abruzzo is known for olive groves, mixed farming and hill villages between the coast and the mountains.
