What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €62,000 (€517/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €717/m² after allowing €200/m² for unclear condition, versus the Abruzzo country-house baseline of €456/m². The house has a large 1,000 m² garden and 11 photos, but condition and key property details are missing, while the price is not discounted.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable country house with a functioning-looking kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, fireplace, balconies, and a substantial olive-filled garden. Its character comes from the traditional fireplace, patterned tiles, furnishings, and mature greenery rather than spectacular architecture or views. At €62,000 for 120 sqm plus roughly 1,000 sqm of land, it offers strong practical value, but it needs cosmetic updating and outdoor cleanup rather than delivering a polished dream-home experience.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 furnished and usable but distinctly dated, with extensive vintage wallpaper and tile finishes.
- The garden and outdoor areas look overgrown and will need clearing and regular maintenance.
- No compelling sea, mountain, or valley view is visible, and the condition of utilities and systems is not documented.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Tordino valley with the Gran Sasso d'Italia and the Monti della Laga within about 15 km to the west, forming the main mountain backdrop of the area. The Tordino river runs through Teramo. The Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga begins close to the city on the mountain side. The nearest substantial town is Teramo, which has a cathedral, a Roman theatre and the services of a provincial capital. This part of Abruzzo is known for the transition from Adriatic foothills to the highest Apennine massifs and for food products linked to the Teramano area.
